I just noticed the same with my messages. I seems to be a
'problem' (bug?) with the character set. When it is set on none
(like this message) the subject in the header should be fine.
When it is set to iso-8859-1 you'll send scrambled subjects.

Can someone check this?
It's scrambled with:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
and not with:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Another thing: I just sent a test msg to myself and I selected
ISO-8859-1 as character set, but when I look at the headers of
the recieved mail it is set as us-ascii...
