Description:

from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307731

subject of mail notification from MW 1.5rc4 is not encoded when using 2-byte
UTF-8 charactors (like Japanese).
it should be encoded by B-encode for mail header.

or some special settings in MW to do this :p
if so, it should be enable by default.

Version: 1.5.x
Severity: normal

As are all the other Wikipedias, and any other wiki using MediaWiki. Just bear
with us while someone proposes a patch, reviews and commits it.

The version is set to 1.5rc4. Has this been fixed in a release version, like 1.5.2?

Patch for HEAD

(bug 3407) Fix encoding of subject and from/to headers on notification mails; userMailer() now takes a MailAddress wrapper object instead of a raw string to abstract things a level.
