Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2007-12-03 03:42:45 UTC 
I have no idea how or why this happens, but certain senders (two that I know of in my contact list, one of which is a mailing list) sends me emails with a garbled subject line. It has been reported that hotmail has no trouble reading it properly.

This mail went through gmail and was fetched using its POP3 service. Gmail displays the subject line correctly as "[AGÉÉPUM] L'Amnésique, édition du 2 novembre 2007" instead of "[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?AG=C9=C9PUM?=] L'=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Amn=E9sique?=, édition du 2 décembre 2007"

I will attach the suspect message to this bug report.

the subject line is not encoded properly (see RFC2047), please file a bug against the application that the sender uses.
there's nothing that evolution can do here.
