When native language (RU) is in use, subject header usually contains several

Junio, All,

What about this patch?

What's most interesting is that I do not recall seeing this patch before.
Neither gmane (which is my back-up interface to the mailing list) nor my
mailbox seems to have a copy, and from the look of quoted parts (namely,
some Russian strings in the message), it is not implausible that my spam
filter (either on my receiving end or at the ISP) may have eaten it.

It at least exposes bug in git-mailinfo wrt handling of multiline
subjects, and in very details documents it and adds a test for it.

..., but may I try to attract git
community attention one more time?

It is very appreciated.

P.S. original post with patch:

I have not had chance to look at your patch at marc yet, but from the look
of your problem description, I presume you could trigger this with any
utf-8 b-encoded loooooong subject line?
