I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.  If the outgoing MTA has
SMTPUTF8 enabled, then it has the option of not encoding them and
leaving them as "raw" UTF-8.  But if is encounters an MTA that doesn't
support SMTPUTF8, it must encode or bounce.  In an SMTPUTF8-enabled
environment, whether the header is encoded or not is nondeterminis-
tic.

So that presumption is invalid.  The signer really has to force RFC
2047 encoding, and so may as well do it itself.
