the encoding defined in rfc2047 applies to the word entity that precedes
the address-spec, but not as part of the address spec.

i.e.

From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Jos=E9?= <[email protected]>

is ok and is correctly visualized (thunderbird/dbmail)

From: [email protected]

looks broken.

I have to admit I never tried to define a mailbox with an accented character in 
it, but I suspect that it would not
work reliably.
