Just so long as you never need to receive email from somebody
outside the US. QP-encoding is the -correct- way to send
messages with international characters in the headers.
Note that SA has rules that (correctly) hit messages that
have raw 8-bit chars in the headers (that's a violation of
RFC-2822 ).

Some international email clients QP-encode their subjects,
even when it contains nothing but 7-bit ASCII.
