Hi list!
In my company we work with Request Tracker (RT), an application to 
manage tasks commonly by a community of users. This application sends 
email with an ISO enconding in the "From:" field if it contains accents. 
This is an example of the mail header sent by this application:

My problem is that this email is shown in the IMP Inbox with the "From:" 
field just as I wrote it here, not decoded. The weird thing is that if 
you access the mail content clicking on it, it is written decoded, that 
is, as it should be.

Does anybody know if this is a bug or i can't fix it changing some 
configuration file?

Thanx
