Yossi,

We have no problem here with sendmail and subject lines containing 
accented characters (but not Hebrew).

All Subject lines should not contain any 8-bit or UTF-8 character.  All 
those characters should be converted into "normal" characters, usually 
using QP (Quoted Printable) by the MUA, but some don't do it.  Our 
sendmail config does not accept 8-bit characters in headers and 
translates them into "X".
