I looked at my headers -- both before and after, didn't see anything
weird.  I then looked at my character set -- UTF-8.  I guess I _could_
try sending UTF-7 instead, but I don't think it would make any
difference.

And since I save my folders to mbox format ...
  $ file Mail/PC_Support
  Mail/PC_Support: ISO-8859 English text

Could be some character set support on your end.

Could also be my Evolution settings.  I've used the same home directory
with Evolution since old version 1.4 on-ward.  I remember there was a
conversion at 2.0, but I'm now on 2.6.2.

I might try blowing away my Evolution directory at some point (2 things
work weird every since 2.2 or 2.4 IIRC) today and starting with a new
directory.  The filters and other settings are in XML files, so there's
no issue there in re-creating most of the other settings.
