QP in this case does not mean "quoted pairs", it means Quoted Printable which is a MIME encoding ala http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1522.html and http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2047.html 2822 is the RFC which talks about only US-ASCII (7-bit) in the headers, see section 2.2.

This isn't exactly correct. 2822 specifies that only US-ASCII may appear in the headers, but it doesn't say what to do with characters outside that range. 1522 and 2047 discusses how to use either QP or Base64 encoding (either is valid) to deal with those headers. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "Bender, we didn't mind your drinking or your cleptomania or your pornography ring." -Leela "In fact, that's why we love you." -Zoidberg
