I don't think either package is technically in the wrong here.  I
didn't intend for the X_TMDA_IN_SUBJECT feature to support I18N, but
that doesn't mean we can't change this.

I'll look into this as a future enhancement, as we should have the
tools in TMDA to do it.  Basically, we'd need to grok the encoding
used, then decode the entire Subject string, then perform the X-TMDA
stripping, and then re-encode the Subject string sans 'X-TMDA foo'.

One thing to consider in the meantime however, is why sqwebmail is
encoding the Subject string with UTF-8 when it's not necessary.  Most
MUAs do this only on demand, which is probably why this issue has
never arisen before.
