--- Comment #23 from RW <rwmailli...@googlemail.com> --- The changes to the tags brings in 0.8 FUZZY_VPILL I think this is more of a hammer shaped problem. If anyone is interested, I'm going with this: header SUBJ_UCMATH Subject =~ /\xf0\x9d[\x90-\x9f][\x80-\xbf]/ meta SUBJ_UNENC_UCMATH UBJ_UCMATH && __SUBJECT_NEEDS_MIME I doubt these characters are particularly common in email and probably much less common in subjects. Even if someone pastes them into a subject field they will normally be MIME encoded. I've received a few with this kind of subject obfuscation through gmail. Like the OP's they had no encoding (technically RFC compliant at gmail) or broken encoding (see bug 6352 for an example). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
