Description

For example, the following mail has a mangled subject display:

https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/caf3f3f78c478020f0c0069715bd303f3ecb67bf169483a800e37ab9@%3Cdev.dubbo.apache.org%3E

The body text looks OK.

Note that the subject is handled OK by mod_mbox:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-dubbo-dev/201803.mbox/%3c152240877614.5045.17528549688321645295.gitbox@gitbox.apache.org%3e

Research direction

Reproduce the mangled subject using the message linked in the issue, then trace Pony Mail's subject decoding and display path and compare its result with the linked mod_mbox rendering. Done means the same non-ASCII subject displays correctly while the body remains unchanged; no source file or test is named in the issue.
