2. Syntax of encoded-words
...
IMPORTANT: 'encoded-word's are designed to be recognized as 'atom's
by an RFC 822 parser.  As a consequence, unencoded white space
characters (such as SPACE and HTAB) are FORBIDDEN within an
'encoded-word'.  For example, the character sequence

 =?iso-8859-1?q?this is some text?=

would be parsed as four 'atom's, rather than as a single 'atom' (by
an RFC 822 parser) or 'encoded-word' (by a parser which understands
'encoded-words').  The correct way to encode the string "this is some
text" is to encode the SPACE characters as well, e.g.

 =?iso-8859-1?q?this=20is=20some=20text?=

The characters which may appear in 'encoded-text' are further
restricted by the rules in section 5.
...
4.2. The "Q" encoding
...
3.) 8-bit values which correspond to printable ASCII characters other
than "=", "?", and "_" (underscore), MAY be represented as those
characters.  (But see section 5 for restrictions.)  In
particular, SPACE and TAB MUST NOT be represented as themselves
within encoded words.
