It wasn't.  But I've now added it to `rfc2047-encoded-word-regexp'.

Ha, ha.  That's actually quite funny -- specifying Latin for 'Re' to
imply that it doesn't mean 'Reply'.

(But apart from that joke I think RFC 2231 is pretty useless -- noone
cares about the language tag extension to RFC 2047.  The main part of
the RFC is also silly, there was no sane reason to invent a new way of
encoding MIME parameter values when they could just as well have
reused the RFC 2047 encoding).
