What is it?  Can it be detected by looking for the =? followed by a
charset expression?

Yes.  This is described in rfc2047, "MIME Part 3: Message Header
Extensions for Non-ASCII Text".  The general form is

        "=?" charset "?" encoding "?" encoded-text "?="

(This is extended by rfc2184 to allow specification of language with
the charset using the following syntax:

        "=?" charset ["*" language] "?" encoded-text "?="

This isn't used much, but should be kept in mind when writing conditions.)
