Summary: Problems with Microsoft Entourage

Initial Comment:
When posting to a Mailman list with Microsoft Entourage
(all versions) the subject line gets crippled if you
use characters like åäö.

Smögåsbord ends up liks Sm ö rg å rdsbord.
I don't have this problem if I post to other list
servers like Majordomo or ezmlm. I guess we can blame
Microsoft, but why don't I have a problem with other
list solutions?

I tested with my Entourage which I didn't use so far.
It gave:
  Sm=?ISO-8859-1?B?9g==?=g=?ISO-8859-1?B?5Q==?=sbord
and ends up by processed by mailman email.Header module:
  Sm =?iso-8859-1?q?=F6?= g =?iso-8859-1?q?=E5?= sbord

It looks like they break a statement of RFC-2047:
    Ordinary ASCII text and 'encoded-word's may appear
together in the
    same header field.  However, an 'encoded-word' that
appears in a
    header field defined as '*text' MUST be separated from
any adjacent
    'encoded-word' or 'text' by 'linear-white-space'.

I should say, I am unable to duplicate with Mailman 2.1.5
and Thunderbird. I don't have Entourage to test with.

I am unable to duplicate the problem on Mailman 2.1.5.

Can you post the raw Subject: header from both the message
as sent to the list and as received from the list. I'm
looking for things that look like

Subject: =?UTF-8?B?U23DtmfDpXNib3Jk?=

or

Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Sm=F6g=E5sbord?=
