Sharepoint 2010 outgoing email encoding

I have several workflows which send email notifications. Some of the outgoing emails have very strange titles, like the following:
Скоро срок СЃдачи поручРµния СоздатСЊ расписаниРµ по дисциплинам
Задачи - Настроить работу блога на =?utf-8?Q?=D0=BA=D0=BE=D1=80=
Both sentences are utf-8 encoded, in russian. Some of the characters inside the sentence were replaced with incorrect ones, I have no idea what is the reason of it. Is there any way to investigate or fix it?Thanks!

I have a pretty simple workflow, which sends notification mails when a Task DueDate is coming soon.
WF is created in the Sharepoint designer, it's in russian language, I'll translate it to english:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
IF CurrentElement:NotifyUser equals true
AND CurrentElement:UserBeenNotified equals false
AND CurrentElement:AssignedTo is not empty
SEND CurrentElement:AssignedTo
THEN FOR UserBeenNotified SET true
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mail template which is used by the workflov, looks the following:
To: CurrentElement:AssignedTo
Subject: Deadline of the assignment [%CurrentElement:Title%] is coming soon
Body: Due date of the assignment [%CurrentElement:Title%] is [%CurrentElement:DueDate%]. Current percent complete is [%CurrentElement:PercentComplete%].
After I had re-created this WF in Visual Studio, the issue didn't disappeared.
Also, I have notifications configured for the Tasks list, so that Sharepoint sends me report when any Task item was changed by another user.
Message Title encoding issue appears in all the cases.
Thanks for your help,
Sam
