Yes.  Let's start from a common starting point so we can eliminate
other tools.  I'm using Python 2.2 here, and the following script to
inject the message into a mailing list:

-------------------- snip snip --------------------
import smtplib

MAILHOST = 'localhost'
MAILPORT = 25
MYLIST = 'CHANGEME'
ME = 'CHANGEME'

s = smtplib.SMTP()
s.connect(MAILHOST, MAILPORT)

s.sendmail(ME, [MYLIST], '''\
To: %s
Subject: =?iso-8859-1?B?6eA=?=
From: %s
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

''' % (MYLIST, ME))

s.close()
-------------------- snip snip --------------------

So I run this and I end up with a message in my qfiles/in with the
following Subject:

    Subject: =?iso-8859-1?B?6eA=?=

Now I run "bin/qrunner -o -r Incoming" once and I end up with files in
qfiles/archive (ignore these) and two in qfiles/out.  bin/dumpdb on
the qfiles/out/*.pck file and I get the following Subject: header:

    Subject: [Postal] =?iso-8859-1?B?6eA=?=

Just as I expected.

Now run "bin/qrunner -o -r Outgoing", the message disappears from my
queue and shows up in my inbox, with the exact same Subject: as
expected.

What happens for you?
