Okay, you're right.  Technically it's allowed.  However, can we agree
that the way Evo encodes header fields is suboptimal?  If I type "wörter
€uro" in the subject, Evo will use 2 charsets: iso-8859-1 and
windows-1251.  This makes the subject unnecessary big, when using
nothing but iso-8859-15 would be sufficient.

Compare the way Evolution encodes "Test Subject with Wörter €uro ¢ent
¥en ä ö ü" to the way mutt does it:

Evo:
Subject: Test Subject with =?ISO-8859-1?Q?W=F6rter?=
        =?windows-1251?Q?_=88uro?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?_=A2ent?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?_=A5en?=
        =?ISO-8859-1?Q?_=E4?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?_=F6?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?_=FC?=

mutt:
Subject: Test Subject with =?iso-8859-15?Q?W=F6rter?=
        =?iso-8859-15?B?IKR1cm8gomVudCClZW4g5CD2IPw=?=

It shouldn't be too hard to "inspire" yourself with the way mutt handels
this, should it?
