The standard said you have to encode the non-ascii headers for
email. So... You that those OSS hackers how stubborn about 
stick to the standard. :(

MUA that won't handle encoded header is broken. Fill a bug
report to the author.

apparently, slrn sucks here. Maybe you can pipe the article to
a decoder. But you still cannot see headers in the list view.

Maybe you can setup a nntp proxy on your box that uses filter 
to decode headers. Okey, we already have a perl version, 
here is my python version :)
