No, it cannot be modified.

Huh?
The problem that Cindi is talking about has to do with AOL mangling
the Subject line. Angle brackets inside of subject lines are not HTML.
Only angle-bracketed text inside the body of a message can potentially
be HTML.
I do not have a problem with AOL doing 's/</<./g' inside the message
body. But doing that to the message header is just plain wrong.
Looks like a good idea with a bad implementation of the idea.
