in reply to Encoding Mail Subject

Iirc you can provide the encoding for the subject inside the subject (and encode the original subject string in a proper way):

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME#Encoded-Word

Subject: =?utf-8?Q?=C2=A1Hola,_se=C3=B1or!?=

is interpreted as "Subject: ¡Hola, señor!".

    Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, when I add
    "Subject: =?utf-8?Q?中åç©æµä¸éè´­èåä¼?="
    I still don't get a valid subject (just ??)

      As linuxer showed in the example above, the non-ASCII characters must be encoded too, so the full subject is ASCII only.
