The problem is that if mail headers (especially to, from and subject)
contain non US-Ascii characters (as your email does), then the mail
program is supposed to use the mechanism described in RFC2047. Your
emailer is not doing this, but is sending the 'raw' Scandinavian
characters. As to how to fix it, I am sorry but I cannot be of any
help.
