It means the Subject had 8-bit characters, not encoded. The sender's

There are available patches that can "fix" the behavior:

# Munging illegal characters in headers
# Headers of RFC2882 messages must not have characters with the 8th bit

munge8bit: no

I have found this option and works fine now.<br>
This problem appears when I send a form from my webpage with php. I
have set Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit but with no luck.<br>
Any help?<br>
<br>
Thank you all<br>
