It has to go through, unscathed, various different mail servers. There isn't really any meta-subject data to be able to describe how the subject will be encoded. To do something non-ascii, you have to bodge everything into the subject line. Clients that can decode it will show what was intended to be seen; clients that cannot, will show all the instructions as the instructions. It's probably no more than assumption that UTF-8 in the subject line will be correctly interpreted. The message content is another matter, entirely. It will have headers that describe what the content is, those headers will be simple, but the content could be anything, so long as it's encoded so that the encoded stuff will pass through a 7-bit system. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
