Why not `rfc2047-encode-parameter'?  Cf. (info "(emacs-mime)rfc2047")

I've been using it as mail-header-encode-parameter to send Japanese
messages to people who use M$ mailers:

(rfc2047-encode-parameter "filename" "日本語")
 => "filename=\"=?iso-2022-jp?B?GyRCRnxLXDhsGyhC?=\""

But rfc2045- doesn't support encoding of non-ASCII text:

(rfc2045-encode-string "filename" "日本語")
 => "filename=\"日本語\""

AFAIK at least Thunderbird supports rfc2231.
