I'm from Norway, and we have non-ascii characters of our own - ������ - and I've seen this a few times. But: RFC2822 quite clearly states that only US-ASCII characters are allowed in headers. (See section 2.2). The solution to this is to encode our special characters with quoted-printable (aka quoted-unreadable) or somesuch. Properly encoded subjects aren't caught by SpamAssassin. All the mail user agents I use on a regular basis do this properly, but the plain mail, mailx and sendmail commands on most Unix systems don't know how to do this. While this has caused a few issues for us, we haven't felt any need to adjust the score of this one, quite simply because "We're wrong and the RFC is right". =) -- Anders Morken My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right!
