Dbmail already uses the encoding in the Content-Type header of a
message. Only if such a header is not used, the default_msg_encoding is
used to try and decode the 8bit headers.

No can do. In this case there's simply no way to determine the encoding
of the Subject header.

Try bugging the maintainer of MIME::Lite::HTML
