Description
If one tries to send message with russian language in subject string Mulberry corrupts subject line -- it replaces arbitrarily some letters with question signs, for example string "Это эксперимент" ("This is experiment" in russian) is replaced with "Это экспер??мент" (some mail clients like Thunderbird show only "Это экспер") -- here letter "и" (russian i) is replaced with two question signs. Message body and From string both remain uncorrupted.
This occurs when one composes message in Plain text or in HTML, when he tries to compose message in Enriched text -- subject string is preserved, but message body became corrupted due to incorrect encoding field (us-ascii) in resulting mail message.
N.B. Box "Always Use Unicode..." in Preferences is always checked!
The problem appears to be that Mulberry is splitting a single multi-octet UTF-8 encoding of a charcater across two lines in the folded header.
