You are not allowed to use anything except a subset of the 7-bit USASCII
character set in header lines. The "Content-Type:" header field does
only (as is obvious from the name) apply to the contents of the message.
Mail or news which break this rule is likely to be lost or damaged by some
servers, while others will work just fine.
This said, there IS a standard for encoding national and special characters
in header fields. I whish it would be implemented in Yarn (and automatically
convert headers in outgoing messages when necessary).
