Subject: Why is UTF-8 subject base64 encoded? (ä)

Hi
I've told Gnus to use UTF-8 whenever I send a message which contains
non-ASCII characters by saying
(setq mm-coding-system-priorities '(mule-utf-8))
in .gnus.
However, there's one problem: Gnus now always uses base64 instead of
quoted printable to encode 8bit characters in the subject and other
headers. Is this a bug or wanted behavior?

Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider
that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough
space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize
this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
