I think you missed the point here - it is not about QP/BASE64, but about
Evolution using 2 charsets for subject, when 1 would be enough
(although mutt could encode 2nd part as QP also, but it does not matter
in this case).

BTW, charsets like windows-1251 or KOI8 should really be BASE64 encoded, as
there usually are very little latin letters in russian mail messages,
so recipient could "read" only very little text...

P.S. BTW, why only you put your text ABOVE quoted, when netiquette suggests
(and almost everybody else seems to do) otherwise?
