I don't have a patch, but it should be fairly easy, just open the two files "imap/lmtpengine.c" and "imap/message.c" and search for 'X' (quote X quote) and comment the lines, it should be one line per file.

I am using version 2.1.13 and the lines are:
lmtpengine.c line 861
message.c line 271

Actually most of the users just set a default charset and everything
works fine with them.
I know it breaks the standard, but we have to do it.

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'.
