Thanks for the patch.  However, I'm wondering why this existing
code doesn't fix the subject:

    if ( $utf8 ) {
        binmode(MAIL, ":utf8");
        if ($mesg =~ /^Subject: (.*)$/m) {
                my $new_subj = encode('MIME-Header', $1);
                $mesg =~ s/^Subject: .*$/Subject: $new_subj/m;
        }
    }

Note that this is applied only to text sent to sendmail,
not what is output to stdout using the -t (test) option.
