> WHAT IS AN INVALID CHARACTER IN MAIL HEADER?
>
>  The RFC 2822 standard specifies rules for forming internet messages.
>  It does not allow the use of characters with codes above 127 to be used
>  directly (non-encoded) in mail header (it also prohibits NUL and bare CR).
>
>  If characters (e.g. with diacritics) from ISO Latin or other alphabets
>  need to be included in the header, these characters need to be properly
>  encoded according to RFC 2047. This encoding is often done transparently
>  by mail reader (MUA), but if automatic encoding is not available (e.g.
>  by some older MUA) it is the user's responsibility to avoid the use
>  of such characters in mail header, or to encode them manually. Typically
>  the offending header fields in this category are 'Subject', 'Organization',
>  and comment fields in e-mail addresses of the 'From', 'To' and 'Cc'.
>
>  Sometimes such invalid header fields are inserted automatically
>  by some MUA, MTA, content checker, or other mail handling service.
>  If this is the case, that service needs to be fixed or properly configured.
>  Typically the offending header fields in this category are 'Date',
>  'Received', 'X-Mailer', 'X-Priority', 'X-Scanned', etc.
>
>  If you don't know how to fix or avoid the problem, please report it
>  to _your_ postmaster or system manager.
