That's a valid word according to RFC 2047 (MIME Part Three: Message
Header Extensions for Non-ASCII Text). The construct is

    encoded-word = "=?" charset "?" encoding "?" encoded-text "?="

Charset: x-UNICODE-2-0-UTF-7
Encoding: B (which is BASE64)
String as UTF-7: AGROB-Gel+O2Q-e

Trying to translate the UTF-7-string to latin isn't possible, but this
wasn't my point. I was mainly interested if UTF-7 support is there.
Now I see, I really asked two questions, the second was if RFC 2047
parsing is intended to be there.
