9 The problem is that if mail headers (especially to, from and subject)
10 contain non US-Ascii characters (as your email does), then the mail
11 program is supposed to use the mechanism described in RFC2047. Your
12 emailer is not doing this, but is sending the 'raw' Scandinavian
13 characters. As to how to fix it, I am sorry but I cannot be of any
14 help.
