Just change /etc/imapd.conf and add following line:<br><br>munge8bit: no <br><br>So you see your subjects with "Umlaut"s again!<br><br>We had the same problem, migrating UW4 to Cyrus. The theory is that there is a RFC which does nit allow 8-bit-characters in mail headers. They should be encoded. Most mail clients encode 8-bit-characters correctly, but there are a lot of mailers which do not! But just add this directive before migrating.

Hello,<br><br>> Driven by the setting of "reject8bit" in /etc/imapd.conf in both<br>> Cyrus 2.2.* and 2.3.*. The default is to change 8-bit characters<br>> to "X". Set "reject8bit" to have lmtpd reject messages with 8-bit
<br>> characters in the headers.<br><br>if I can disable rejecting, can I also disable changing characters to X?<br><br>The point is, that when we are migrating from dovecot to cyrus very<br>soon, I don't want to see strange sideeffects after the migration and
<br>users yelling at me because sometime changed in the IMAP behaviour.<br><br>And there are senders that send invalid characters in the subject but<br>you cannot force them to send valid encoded subjects (several registries
<br>for internet domain names).<br><br>Regards<br>Marten<br>----<br>Cyrus Home Page: <a href="http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus">http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus</a><br>Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: <a href="http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu">http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu
