Milan,

I will forward the complete message to you - but it is unremarkable
except for the raw UTF-8 in the "Subject:" line. Evolution is OK if the
UTF-8 is encoded in base-64 or quote-printable format but seems not to
cope with the raw stuff.

Here is the subject line :

Subject: Thinking of the US? 🌍 Choose UA and AA flights ✈️

Where the globe and the aircraft are Unicode characters U+1F30D and
U+1F6EA.

Neil.
