Maybe not a problem.. but if people "break the rules"..... Most MUA's I've found will do the proper encoding , checking the reject logs, there are very little which actually get rejected becuase of this, as most messages are encoded properly and don't have non-ascii chars in the headers. The number of messages rejected is less than 50 a day (out of tens of thousands a day on the particular server) > > Header shows encoding as UTF-8, though.

I've found only a very few false possitives and even hotmail/yahoo does it wrong sometimes encoding the subject properly, but leaving the To unencoded and vica versa. I have emailed microsoft/yahoo (does anyone know the proper people to email at these places) about the problem.
