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...
