Basically, there are two options: encoded-words à la RFC 2047 and
transcribing the problematic characters. For fields like `From:',
`Sender:' or `Reply-To:', both are acceptable. (I'd suggest to use
encoded-words for hierarchies where MIME-capable readers and iso-8859-1
charsets are quite common, such as de.*, at.* fr.*, and transcription
for other hierarchies, especially tw.*.)
For the `Subject:' line, transcription should be preferred, because
some news readers modify encoded-words, which can have quite a negative
impact on threading.
