I was wrong regarding the cause of the crash. It's not the Subject that
makes pan crash, but the illegal encoding given in the From:-Header
("isolatin" is not a valid charset).

At least the responsible person now knows about this issue. If it's not
fixed in the recently released 0.13.90, than I'm sure it will be fixed
in 0.13.91. I'll get the 0.13.90 and comment...
