Using utf8 for the subject and message text also seems to work.

  put uniDecode(uniEncode("Hier Ausfüllen"),utf8) into tSubject
  revmail "hello at mydomain.de", tSubject,"Text of Mail"

As with Sarah's solution, I don't know what will happen with other  
mail clients. But at least you can avoid editing the rev library.
