1. If the browser charset is not utf-8, than characters with accents don't
get into cyrus sieve, since the specification says, that they must be UTF-8
encoded in sieve scripts.
Proposal:
 - send the form with accept-charset="utf-8" (my solution do this)
OR
 - encode the returned information from NLS::getCharset() to utf-8
Affected input fields: subject, body.

2. If the header contains accents, it is not enough to encode it to utf-8,
but we have
to mime encode it, because of buggy mail servers (like Cyrus Sieve), which
doesn't do this themselves.
Affected input fields: subject, from. (my patch only fix the problem on the
subject field).
