The correct way to reply to a message that has an RFC 2047-encoded subject
is to use the same RFC 2047-encoded subject that appeared in the message
being replied-to. That's very easy to do - just prepend "Re: " to that
subject line, and rewrap the header (leaving encoded-words intact) if
necessary to accomodate RFC 2047 line-length restrictions.
Sure. That's the "obvious" way to do it, but since when have implementors
of User Agents invariably done the "obvious" thing? So it needs to be
said somewhere. Usefor has simply taken the view that "somewhere" should
be BCP rather than standards-track.
