Doesn't a message with such subject violate the spec?  It ought to be
rfc-2047-encoded, right?  Or does exim decode it and then log the
decoded version?  That would be a mistake, IMHO; it should just log the
rfc-2047 form.

And what happens when print_topbitchars _is_ set?  I have read that part
of the exim spec, but it doesn't quite answer this.  Does it just copy
out the raw bits without any encoding?
