Additionally, following changes should be made:

- Message headers should be decoded to UTF-8 for templates.
- Following functions accept Unicode string so that they determine
  appropriate charset / encoding:
    MIME::EncWords::encode_mimewords()
    MIME::Charset::body_encode()
- Log content should be encoded to be filesystem encoding.
- Shared file names should be handled by UTF-8.
- Miscelaneous:
  - Perl module updates (for bug fixes).
  - Now topics.conf may also be encoded to UTF-8.
  - HTTP Date: header should be formatted by neutral locale.
  - Archive subjects had been encoded to UTF-8 by MHonArc.
