That sounds correct. THe new comments that has been added to my bug
report confirms this: <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69251>
But it is still a fact that unlike Mozilla 0.8, Netscape 4.x *decodes*
in a meaningful way such uncorrectly encoded subject lines. In fact,
that is why your own mailer -/which to my surprice is Netscape 4.7/-
had no problem with the sucbject of the original message in this
thread, to which you were replying. Because the subject of original
message of this thread was encoded exactly the same way as the quoted
subject from Eudora 3.1 above.
Mind you, that also Eudora for windows encode messages the same way. So
such users will at least not be more friendly towards Mozilla after
hearing this. Though I am not sure... because the Eudora users
themselves (and also not the Netscape 4.7 users....) doesn't suffer
from this problem. It is only the Mozilla users themselves.
Of course it is much better if you get QualComm to correct their software...

(If you yourself had used Mozilla in your reply we could have seen this
problem in practise... But then again, this message is sent out by
Magellan, so if you fetch this message with Mozilla you should be able
to see it I think.)
