How to make cyrus not change non US-ASCII characters to "X"

[Alessandro Oliveira]

Is there any possibility to put this as an autoconf option?

maybe something like: "./configure --enable-strict-headers | 
--disable-strict-headers" would do the trick,
or even better, a runtime configuration option !!!

what are the REAL consequences of having 8bit characters in the Subject 
header ?

Thanks,

Alessandro Oliveira
