Gnus uses RFC2231 encoding for non-ascii text in the MIME parameters,
which is, er, correct.  However, it's unusual.

I'm sort of leaning towards switching over to using quoted-printable
here instead of RFC2231 to get interoperability with...  a lot of the
world.

Does Thunderbird understand RFC2231, for instance?
