In header, non-ASCII word must be converted to MIME encoded-word.
The patch encodes header (field body), not message body. Even if
the patch is applied, message body is encoded with UTF-8/8bit (or
US-ASCII/7bit).

A possible improvement is encoding field body partially. The
current patch converts the whole of the field body to MIME
encoded-word if non-ASCII character is found.
For example, the current patch converts
Subject: ascii and non-áscii
to
Subject: =?utf-8?q?ascii_and_non-=C3=A1scii?=
However,
Subject: ascii and =?utf-8?q?non-=C3=A1scii?=
is more readable.
