No, if you encode, you don't add quotes, quotes are for ASCII data that
contains special characters.
For non-ASCII data, you just encode, *without* quotes.

No, you don't quote encoded data, this violates RFC 2047, which explicitly
mandates no encoded text in quoted strings.
The answer is that RFC-2047 encoding obviates the need for quotes. If
Exchange/Outlook is breaking on correctly encoded display names, complain
to Microsoft and have them fix the bug.
