cfexchange and character encoding

Hi!

I'm developing an application using the new cfexchange-tags. The app outputs a
list of calendar events from an MS Exchange 2003 server. It works nicely, as
long as the event subjects don't contain any non-english characters. As soon as
the subject contains for example "umlaut"-characters like ä or ö, the output is
bogus.

Should I, for example, make an appointment in Outlook with the subject "Kimi
Raikkonen" (without umlauts), the subject, when retrived with
cfexchangecalendar, displays OK:

{ts '2008-01-19 10:00:00'} Kimi Raikkonen

Then, if I use the umlaut-characters in the name "Kimi Räikkönen", the
resulting page reads:

{ts '2008-01-19 12:00:00'} =?iso-8859-1?Q?Kimi_R=E4ikk=F6nen?=

Ok, I thought, this is the good old ISO/UTF-problem, so I changed my
Outlook-settings to utf-8 and tried again (with ä and ö), ther result was:

{ts '2008-01-19 14:00:00'} =?UTF-8?B?S2ltaSBSw6Rpa2vDtm5lbg==?=

- I run the ColdFusion8-server on linux, with the Cumulative Hot Fix 2
installed
- I've tried the ExchangeServerLanguage-attribute in the cfexchangeconnection
tag to no avail

(This is nothing new. Every distribusion since the first MX has had some
problems with other character sets than lower ASCII.)

I would be grateful for any help in this!
