Bug Description
This was reported by a Debian user.
RFCs are all good and well -- better still is the old policy of
'being conservative in what you send and liberal in what you accept'.
Some mailers are broken, and we have to deal with it. I do get mail with
either 'Umnlaut' 8-bit chars country or with 'Accents' over vowels, and these
_break_ vm if they appear in From: or Subject:. VM then refuses to work with
mailboxen containing these and I have to manually clean the mailbox (via,
say, mutt) and restart emacs. Royal pain.
How about VM refusing to accept such mails to at least not break folders?

Dear Manoj, can you please ask the original poster to send us some samples of messages with 8-bit headers?
Ulrich, I have transferred this to your desk.
