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)

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.

Thanks
