On gnus-bug, a user pointed out the following:
 
7. Conformance

   A mail composing program claiming compliance with this specification
   MUST ensure that any string of non-white-space printable ASCII
   characters within a '*text' or '*ctext' that begins with "=?" and
   ends with "?=" be a valid 'encoded-word'.  ("begins" means: at the
   start of the field-body, immediately following 'linear-white-space',
   or immediately following a "(" for an 'encoded-word' within '*ctext';
   "ends" means: at the end of the field-body, immediately preceding
   'linear-white-space', or immediately preceding a ")" for an
   'encoded-word' within '*ctext'.)  In addition, any 'word' within a
   'phrase' that begins with "=?" and ends with "?=" must be a valid
   'encoded-word'.

That is, if I type "=?hello?=, sailor" in a Subject header, then the
first word should be encoded.  It's rather unlikely, but the change
made it necessary to delve into the bowels of rfc2047.el and hack
away a bit.  If I broke something, give a holler...
