Ah, there lies the rub (you forgot that the original complaint was about

Indeed.

I wonder where that is_rfc2047_special() function came from.  The list of 
"special" characters is totally bogus.

This function is about quoting inside dq pair, so the function does not

s/is about/is NOT about/;

Sorry, I should grab coffee before continuing.

look at the set you listed.  It is about quoting non-ascii chars using the
?charset?Q? or ?charset?B? notation.

If we want to use double quotes that should be done elsewhere, not in that
function.
