Yes but "%20" is the form of escape intended for use with http, not for email. For email, it should be "=20" and if such escaped characters are included in a subject line, this is supposed to be indicated by the subject field starting with a sequence like "=?charset?Q?" to flag the use of what is called quoted printable encoding.
