Hello.

RFC 2047 states that the ‘_’ should be replaced with <SPACE> in “Q”
encodings, where a wide range of printable characters are used in
non-critical locations within the message header (e.g., Subject).
RFC 2045, which defines the “Quoted-Printable” content transfer
encoding, says no such specific thing about the ‘_’ being replaced with
<SPACE>.

I agree with your interpretation of the RFCs. qp_encode() should not
intepret '_' specially for a Content-Transfer-Encoding of quoted-printable.
