The file is in fixed-width format (formatted with tabs), which we don't currently support.
If you ignore the header, then the file can be parsed using sep=\t (which fread autodetects), with the exception of a single line 1234 which contains an unquoted \t character inside the message (and thus from fread's standpoint it looks like an extra field).
