That's not correct.  It may work for certain messages, but that is  
luck, not because this is the proper solution.  It sounds like the  
subject line is simply not encoded correctly - thus, when converting  
to the server charset (UTF-8), characters are being mis-converted.   
But this is an issue with the mail message itself, not IMP.
