Yes, I'm aware.  It just seems wasteful for NS to write the above when
=?x-UNICODE-2-0-UTF-7?Q?AGROB-Gel+O2Q-e?= is less bloated.  It's just
*weird* to base64-encode something which is 7-bit-clean (as UTF-7 is).

Sorry, I wasn't trying to answer your question (I don't know whether
we support UTF-7, but I believe we ought to).  I was just diving down
a side-track.
