Hello All,

Thanks to all who replyed.
I understand now that this are the hotmail and many other clients to blame for 
these kind of headers.
But in reality I would like to deal with this problem (not just blame the 
clients) via Cyrus (UW-IMAP and Exchange seem to deal with the problem pretty 
well).

Many users on my system now very dissapointed by this header handling :(

This munge8bit option, Andrzej wrote about is very interesting but I can't see 
this option with man imapd.conf
on my SLES9 system.
Is there more information on enabling this munge8bit option?

The patch from Igor is also interesting, if nothing else works, I'd like to try 
it.


Best Regards,
Leon Kolchinsky

P.S.:
This is my original message for Igor (cause he missed it):

Hello All,
 
I have very annoying problem since I've moved to Cyrus from UW-IMAP:
 
When someone sends e-mail from a number of servers to my users, and Subject 
line is in hebrew, the only Subject they see on their Outlook Express or
Horde IMP is Subject: XXXX XXXXXX
 
On the other hand, same message sent to Exchange account looks OK on the 
Subject line.
 
Is there any solution to this kind of problem?
 
 
Here are the headers of the message I got on Cyrus account with Subject: XXXX 
XXXXXX:

You can set munge8bit option to zero in imapd.conf.
I am not sure if it requires patching cmu sources.

Check "man imapd.conf" on your system to find out if it is supported by your 
binary.
