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.
