[Limitation]

As of now, I do not plan on fixing this problem.

Some real examples of how this can be a bother would be
useful to determine if this problem should be given more
weight.

BTW, a patch to fix it is always welcome.

Not sure if it worth the effort to fix this bug.  If TEXTENCODE
is enabled, this problem does not exist since all non-ASCII
encoded text is decoded when messages are read.

When TEXTENCODE is disabled (the default), mhonarc stores
subject text in "raw" form, which may include non-ascii encoding.

The resource variable resolution does not check for non-ascii
encodings.  It could be added, but it complicates things and
increases processing overhead.  Details of why it complicates
things can be provided if interested.

The work-around solution is to enable TEXTENCODE, or whatever
is processing the subsequent URL is modified to deal
with non-ASCII encoded text.
(Note, DECODEHEADS can provide a partial solution for
selected charsets.)

Unless there is an overwhelming need, I will probably not
fix this bug and call it a limitation instead :)

Forwarding bug report from Debian tracking system. Any
response here should automatically also go to Debian
bug tracking.

Bug is NOT independently confirmed by me. I've asked
submitter to see what happens with mhonarc 2.6.15.
