**** observed with 2000-06-29 M17 build ****
Steps to reproduce:
-compose two messages :first  with "le_sujet" in the Subject field and another 
one with "lé_süjet" iin the Subject field;
- send both messages and note:
//the one with ascii and underscore is OK, the other one where underscore is 
surrounded by non-ascii chars is stripped from underscore, it's gone (unable to 
look at the source because of bug# 44244

Actually the underscore is there in the source but is
QP-encoded and apparently we are not able to show that 
in the headers only.

Looks like an inherited problem from 4.x.
I can reproduce this by send/receive by using 4.x.

Comment 3

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

I'm wondering if we are able to deal with any QP-encoded
data bewlow 0x80 in the headers-- it is true we have the
same problem in 4.x. 2 things to fix.

1. We should not encode these characters using QP.
2. We should be able to show them if they are there.
