Those characters are okay for lots of languages (well, at least some of them
are), but according to the RFCs you can't put them in headers in raw 8-bit form.
 Look at the raw form of some of your other messages, and you'll see that
they're correctly encoded (following RFC 2047, probably using quoted-printable),
with a charset indicated.  Without a charset, there's no way to interpret those
8-bit bytes, since they might just as well be something in UTF-8, for example.

Instead of

  Subject: L�s � s��una hj� litla kr�linu ;o)

you should have something like

  Subject:
=?ISO-8859-1?Q?L=E1s=20=E1=20s=ED=F0una=20hj=E1=20litla=20kr=EDlinu=20;o)?=

And your mail client will decode it and present it to you with the correct
characters.

The problem is with whatever is generating the invalid headers, not with
SpamAssassin.
