AIX-Sendmail, ISO8859-1, MS Exchange and "=F8"-characters

PJS/5.7.97

I try to setup sendmail 4.03 on AIX 4.1 and Internet Mail Service (IMS) on
MS Exchange 5.0/SP1 to mail both ways. The routing works OK, but when I
read incoming mails on AIX (using "mail"), then ISO-8859-1 special
characters in the subject or content, are translated into codes like "=F8".
When I read incoming mails on Exchange (using Outlook) all characters are
translated correctly.

This is how is looks like on AIX:
----------------------------------------------
Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?RE=3A_=E6=F8=E5=C6=D8=C5?=      
Date: Sat, 5 Jul 1997 17:01:58 +0200                    
X-Priority: 3                                          
Mime-Version: 1.0                                      
X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.0.1458.49)          
Content-Type: text/plain;                              
        charset="ISO-8859-1"                            
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

This is content with special characters like =F8
-----------------------------------------------
IMS/Exchange uses ISO8859-1 both for inbound/outbound MIME and non-MIME,
and sends attachments using MIME (Plain text).
AIX uses the ISO8859-1-character set, and has no problems with special
characters receiving mail from  another AIX.

I don't know if I should change IMS-settings or AIX/sendmail-settings ? Any
ideas ?

PJS/9.7.97

Exchange clients don't use Rich Text. Exchange sends content/attachments in
MIME (plain text, NOT html). But I've found out, that if I set up Exchange
to send uuencoded and ISO-8859-1, then AIX understands it ok.

The conclusion so far, is that AIX should be configured to handle inbound
MIME !
