Oggetto: Re: [exim] cut subjects that are too long + delete emojii from subject lines...
Thank you for the Point into the right direction.
Stumbled upon a new problem now:

I use:

    remove_header = subject
    add_header = Subject: ${rfc2047:${length_64:$h_subject:}}


in acl_data along with a accept rule.

Now to the problem.
It seems that it does cut the ENCODED subject into 64 characters.
According to documentation, $h_subject: should return the decoded
subject.
So the resulting subject becomes like this:
=?UTF-8?B?dGVzdGFyIMOlw6TDtiDDhcOEw5YgcsOka3Ntw7ZyZ8OlcyBSw4RLU0

Where obviously the encoded string was cut into 64 characters.

Also tried with:
    add_header = Subject: ${rfc2047:${length_64:${rfc2047d:$h_subject:}}}


but didn't work either.

Somehow it seems that the ${rfc2047:} part is executed Before
${length_64:} part. And I tried swapping them but didn't work either.
(subject got even weirder).
