It will be very nice to implement unicode font use for the
messages headers part of the program or the possibility
for the user to choose the font.

Why do we need that ?
Simply because mails with headers in foreighn language
(russian for example) are not readable if the system is
not russian (english, french, italian etc).

    I would say that Unicode font will not help - the problem is that all non-standard symbols are encoded, and russian text will look like
    =?KOI8-R?B?IvOjzcvJziDrz87T1MHO1MnOIg==?
    or =23=64=32
    This requires decoding, but original idea behind "raw header" was to see text as is it in mail. Maybe adding one more page with "decoded headers" will help.
