Hi All,
exim 4.72-6, Debian squeeze.
I'm having a client encoding issue whilst trying to log headers in to
postgres using pgsql if the subject contains the pound sign (£)
I fixed other encoding issues I had by adding :rfc2047: in as follows
${quote_pgsql:rfc2047:$h_subject:}
However this doesn't seem to work for the pound sign.
Whats the best way to sort out encoding issues with postgres so anything
that comes through exim can be inserted in to postgres?
An example error is as follows (apologies for the wrapping):

the encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by
"client_encoding". (PGRES_FATAL_ERROR) (INSERT INTO log (t_message_id,
