Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug.
Expected behaviour.

This text is encoded properly, RFC compliant and works for me. I assume
it's your mail client issue.

Note: all the greek letters where converted here into ? but i believe
you get the point.

The example that i gave here was a made up one. Normally i take this
value from mysql from a utf8 field. Since the string that i receive in
my email is almost fully readable expect for that one letter i decided
to investigate the header information stored in the db by mail_queue and
i think i found where the problem lies.
So here is the headers from the db:
a:7:{s:25:"Content-Transfer-Encoding";s:16:"quoted-printable";s:12:"Content-Type";s:27:"text/plain;
charset=utf-8";s:12:"MIME-Version";s:3:"1.0";s:2:"To";s:23:"tsik[email protected]";s:4:"From";s:29:"UrCity
<[email protected]>";s:7:"Subject";s:182:"=?utf-8?Q?=CE=A3=CE=BA=CE=BF=CF=85=CF=80=CE=AF=CE=B4=CE=B9=CE?=
=?utf-8?Q?=B1_=CF=80=CE=B1=CE=B9=CE=B4=CE=B9=CE=AC_had_some_of_its_main?=
=?utf-8?Q?_information_being_edited...?=";s:4:"Date";s:31:"Sat, 06 Feb
2010 18:36:33 +0200";}
So i tried to step by step identify the letters to see if there was a
mistake there. For each letter there is a =XX=XX
So for the word we have:
=CE=A3=CE=BA=CE=BF=CF=85=CF=80=CE=AF=CE=B4=CE=B9=CE
? ? ? ? ? ? ?
? ?
As you can see the final letter cannot be completed because the line is
split and there is an interaption. So that leads to the ? being a ??.
After transfering the =B1 next to the =CE the letter appeared
normally.
So i tried to see which function create the issue. So i printed the
headers after the $hdrs = $this->mime->headers($hdrs,true); and the
subject part of the array was this:
[Subject] =>
=?utf-8?Q?=CE=A3=CE=BA=CE=BF=CF=85=CF=80=CE=AF=CE=B4=CE=B9=CE?=
=?utf-8?Q?=B1_=CF=80=CE=B1=CE=B9=CE=B4=CE=B9=CE=AC_had_an_update_that_w?=
=?utf-8?Q?as_edited/altered...?=
So improrer splitting of the text looks like the number one suspect. So
splitting the line should always be if a complete set of =XX=XX is being
written otherwise the whole sequence should be transfered in the next
line.
