Not obligatory. With Russian we often meet the situation when OE has
"Use 8-bit symbols in Subject field" switched on. The Content-Type
presents and it can be used to handle such letters correctly. As I
already said, it's far from to be perfect, but will cover a lot of such
situations. I hope one day M$ will hide this switch somewhere deeply in
its registry and things will change to better since this day :)
