Heh, if clients randomly change character sets than I guess there are a very large number of possible values.
Given that RFC2047 came out in 1996 it's reasonable that people use non-ascii characters in titles given that the means to do it in a compatible way has been around for 17 years.

The pedant in me says there are at least two more ways -- different capitalization for "UTF-8". But your subject line shows another way.
My client displays all of the subjects the same.
Jasper, Mine: =?utf-8?q?Gerrit_Wars=E2=84=A2=3A_a_strategy-guide?= Yours: =?windows-1252?q?Gerrit_Wars=99=3A_a_strategy-guide?= MZ's: Gerrit =?UTF-8?B?V2Fyc+KEog==?=: a strategy-guide Ori: Gerrit =?utf-8?Q?Wars=E2=84=A2=3A_?=a strategy-guide
Maybe mailman doesn't understand when the encoding doesn't start at the first character since those are the ones that don't display correctly.
