Comment (by Laenny):

 A more general solution would be nicer, this one only works for ISO-8859-1
 to UTF-8 conversion.
 Most German Email programs use ISO-8859-1 by default, but since Wordpress
 does not have  only have German users...
 You proposed patch would break if UTF-8 encoding was used, for example.
 I will try to find a nice, general solution using the iconv-Library.

 For the subject I have done it by now:

 Line 64:
  old:
    $subject = wp_iso_descrambler($subject);
  new:
     $subject = iconv_mime_decode($subject,2,'utf8');

 (why reinvent the wheel?) - works like a charm with utf8 AND ISO-8859-1
 subjects.

 I will come back later and try to present a solution for the email body.
