Hi Jan,

I just fixed the issue by adding the following in mailbox.php at line 737:
$msg['subject']=utf8_encode($msg['subject']); right after

$msg['subject'] = $imp_ui->getSubject($ob->subject);


the code now looks like:
if (!empty($ob->subject)) {
         $msg['subject'] = $imp_ui->getSubject($ob->subject);
         $msg['subject']=utf8_encode($msg['subject']);
     }

this effectively solves the problem and displays the characters  
properly. Can you confirm if this is just a bug on our systems ( and  
therefore we should make a note of it and update IMP ourselves ) or if  
it's a general issue with IMP that will be fixed in future releases ?

We also had a very hard time with subjects encoded with ISO-8859. I  
submitted more info to the mailing list but basically the solution was  
to have NLS::getCharset return ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8
