Cyrus would not show double-byte characters as they are in Subject field. (Not only subject field but also any fields in mail headers are affected) BIG5, which you are using, consists of 8-bit codes and is not supported by RFC nor by cyrus. If you want to include Chinese letters in headers, you have to encode them with appropriate 7-bit charsets like HZ-GB2312. I'm not familiar with outlook's encoding capability but even if outlook is unable to perform 8to7 encoding, MTA would be able to do that. -- Shuji Kono <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
