If it’s “not encoding” the subject line, then it’s sending it as UTF-16 with
embedded null bytes, the internal encoding of Microsoft’s software. Which
cannot work, given the world’s Usenet software as it exists today. Your
other message mentioned GB2312--if you can confirm that this is the encoding
being used, I can realistically help you, if not, I can’t.
