I just modified my Cyrus IMAP to make it accept 8 bit subjects without changing it to the letter 'X', I changed these two files: imap/lmtpengine.c imap/message.c I tested it and it seems to work fine.
My question is this change safe? I am afraid it might break Cyrus
database format.
Since the messages aren't really usable anyway, the change is "safe". But the messages are meaningless -- without being properly encoded with a character set, 8 bit characters are just as useful as an 'X'.
