So far, we have two known writers (kmail and apple mail) and four known
readers (eudora/mac, teamware, kmail, apple mail).

Not sure what exactly you mean, but KMail does, of course, create
2231-encoded headers for attachments with non-ASCII names.
The question could be rephrased as: Can I assume that an attachment name
encoded according to RFC 2231 will be correctly decoded by the
recipient?
Though, much to my dismay, KMail also has a Microsoft-compatibility
mode for creating those headers in Microsoft's RFC-violating format.
I suspect that means "no, you can't assume that".
