[imp] Subject encoding issue

I'm still unsure as to what issue #1 is and it still remains but I did  
make headway with issue #2.

I tracked down the problem to Horde/Text.php in the function  
htmlSpaces(). More precisely, this line:

$charset = NLS::getCharset();

NLS::getCharset always returned UTF-8 even though my subject was  
encoded in ISO-8859-1. Further down, this line was effectively  
emptying out my subject line whenever $charset was set to UTF-8:

$text = @htmlspecialchars($text, ENT_COMPAT, $charset);

For now, I changed $charset = NLS::getCharset(); with $charset =  
NLS::getCharset(TRUE);  which works because now the charset is  
returned as ISO-8859-1

Is this a limitation of the htmlspecialchars() function ?

However, I still have issue #1 present where it shows '?' instead of  
the actual character.
