Hi,
I just installed sup and noticed that it didn't play extremely well
with utf-8 out of the box.

http://sup.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?UTF8 together with the String 
hack from http://www.nabble.com/UTF-8-woes-td21598658.html#a21598658 
fixed the viewing parts (I think), but it's still unacceptable to
send raw utf-8 in email headers.

So I fixed it with another little hack (to edit-message-mode.rb),
which sets Content-Transfer-Encoding to 8-bit and more importantly
tries to convert any utf-8 headers to quoted printable.

I think the patch (attached) fixes my problems, but it's probably far
from complete. It doesn't detect non-utf8-but-still-illegal-strings,
it assumes every header except Subject is an address, and so on.

Any feedback is welcome. (:
