I think asking gmime to deliberately mis-parse the subject line would
probably be a bad idea, because that would cause some strings to be
impossible to represent in the subject.

So Jani's report here sounds like a bug in bugzilla itself.  Jani, have
you reported this problem to that project?  I don't see it on their
bugtracker [0], though maybe my scan of the list wasn't as thorough as
it should be.
