Perhaps I was not clear enough, sorry.
It is the other way round, in the current configuration of
this strangely configured qmail (I already complained to the provider),
it is not possible to send emails with IMP without an Subject.
But the same email using Eudora works.
And I want to be able to send emails without subject... 


The received header from IMP:
Received: from 192.168.99.14 ([192.168.99.14]) 
	by aaa.bbb.ch (IMP) with HTTP 
	for <schwarb at 127.0.0.1>; Tue,  5 Oct 2004 15:32:54 +0200

When using Eudora:

See the "Subject:" line? This email passed, the former bounced.
The right solution is to fix the qmail configuration, of course.

And I don't claim IMP is wrong, I just wondered if there
could be a reason why Eudora inserts an "Subject:" line ...
