Hi,
these headers are being added by you MUA. When some of the headers contain
8-bit caracters the MUA is responsible (RFC rule - mail headers are 7-bit
only) for MIME encoding them.
Your webmail client should encode/decode them when necessary.
the format is easy =?CODE-PAGE?ENCODING-TYPE?STRING?=
.....................^^^^^^^^^.^^^^^^^^^^^^^.^^^^^^..
There's a RFC for this, look it up ;)
In other words: this has nothing to do with qmail/courier
regards,
ratao
