not seeing the EG, but I am guessing it is italics etc type changes and emoji.

for some time email subject lines have been able to be encoded in unicode. But this requires that the actual unicode be specified starting with an equal sign and  ?utf-8. entering ?utf-8?Q?=F0=9F=8D=8C? with equal signs before and after into a message subject will display a banana for instance.

s̵u̵b̵j̵e̵c̵t̵ ̵l̵i̵n̵e̵ can be entered by typing s ̵ u ̵ b ̵ j ̵ e ̵ c ̵ t ̵ ̵ l ̵ i ̵ n ̵ e ̵ without the spaces
