a problem with message headers

[Rtveliashvili Denis Pavlovich <rtvd 8ka mipt ru>]

I have a problem with mail I send: when I send mail with "from" address 
or subject which contain russian characters other programs display them 
incorrectly.

If I send a mail from one of my mailboxes to another and view it with 
Balsa - everythin is OK. But when I send a mail and try to view it 
either through a web-interface or through a program like Outlook 
Express or The Bat every russian character is converted to a sequence 
of 2 characters. So, message subjects' as well as "from" field's 
russian parts become absolutely unreadable.

To be more preciese, my locale is ru_RU.UTF-8 and message encoding is 
KOI8-R. Now I'm using balsa-2.0.8. As far as I know 2.0.9 is a bugfix 
release which doesn't contain a fix for this bug.
