Actually, with my Encode::compat (and Text::Iconv) Perl 5.6.1 seems
to be happy with RT's unicode support, as far as I know.  I'd also
like to hear if there's anything still broken or missing.

Oh, by the way, 5.8-using people may encounter a random 'invalid
header: Content-C0c0' error on web-submitted tickets or comments
that contain unicode characters.  This is the result of a utf8
bug detailed below:

    http://rt.perl.org/rt2/Ticket/Display.html?id=18107

Anyway, the following patch should cure it, and is submitted
to MailTool's author for inclusion in the next version.

Thanks,
