Had you included these characters in the Subject: Line it would look like this
in 'raw' (MIME encoded) form:
Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Re:_German_umlauts_(=E4,_=F6,_=FC)_in_subject?=
Obviously this creates a parsing problem, as well as the fact that not all mail
programs can display this correctly.

Swedish, Spanish, and French (to name a few languages) present still other
variations on this.

No. Such language transformations and character 'cleanup' are not currently
possible in LISTSERV. This may become possible in a future version.
