Subject: [PATCH] Extended-ASCII chars are only convert to ASCII during export
if the SUB_ASCII toggle is set. Extended-ASCII chars in the message Subject
are now converted as well. Extended-ASCII chars can now be converted during
import by using the 'a' (ASCII only) area flag in the newslink.cfg file.
