Hello, I think I had the same issue with subjects, here is what I did:
I removed from cyrus-imapd sources a line which changes subject if the subject consists non 7 bit chars. You can easily find where it is in source code by greping the line: reject8bit. I cannot tell more specifically at the moment. Then you have to rebuild your cyrus. Updated built should keep subjects as they are. I did it on versions of cyrus server from 1.6 to 2.1. You should also understand what reject8bit setting does: if it's set to no, then it replaces 8bit chars with 'X' and accepts it, otherwise it rejects a message entirely. If you do as I said, you should probably use "reject8bits: no" -------------------------------------- Best regards, Novosjolov Dmitry ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Chang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Scott M.
