According to the relevant quote from the MIME standards (the one in my
bug report is inconclusive)
	http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2046.txt
section 5.2.1 (covering message/rfc822), last paragraph:

   No encoding other than "7bit", "8bit", or "binary" is permitted for
   the body of a "message/rfc822" entity.  The message header fields are
   always US-ASCII in any case, and data within the body can still be
   encoded, in which case the Content-Transfer-Encoding header field in
   the encapsulated message will reflect this.  Non-US-ASCII text in the
   headers of an encapsulated message can be specified using the
   mechanisms described in RFC 2047.

it would seem that the headers should be RFC2047-ified if neccessary.
