Latin1/UTF8 chars?

[Walter Willmertinger]

Just change /etc/imapd.conf and add following line:

munge8bit: no

So you see your subjects with "Umlaut"s again!

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.
