in admin/mail.php, on or about line 123, you will see the following code near the end of the line:

htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['subject']));

 

change this to:

stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['subject']);

 

i haven't tested this, but it should remove the translation in your confirmation step. but if you have any other special html characters, like angle brackets, it might mess up the rest of the html in your page. since the email you are sending is correct, and this is only something that the admin will ever see you might consider just living with this. it's not really hurting anything.
