Uh, this is the first time I hear that MTAs are changing the MIME
encoding of mail headers (I know about MTAs converting the
Content-Transfer-Encoding, e.g. qp <-> 8bit, of the body).

In fact, the article on Gmane has:

,----[ http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/105053/raw ]
| Subject: Non-encoded character in the subject (was: Emacs 21/22:  french
|  =?iso-8859-1?q?=E7?= and =?utf-8?b?xZMp?=
`----

My gcc-ed copy has:

,----[ Gcc ]
| Subject: Non-encoded character in the subject (was: Emacs 21/22:  french
|  =?iso-8859-1?Q?=E7?= and =?utf-8?Q?=C5=93=29?=
`----

Note the difference: binary vs. QP for the second encoded word.

Bye, Reiner.
