Might I suggest that that was a poor choice? Lots of people aren't going
to be able to read it correctly.

I notice, by the way, that although your "From" address is
Quoted-Printable

From: =?UTF-8?B?UGFsaW5kcuKYu21l?= <me9@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Actually, it isn't quoted-printable. It is a MIME "encoded-word" - using "B"
(Base64) encoding.

Your "Reply-to" address isn't

Reply-To: me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If the readable form is good enough for "Reply-To" why not use it for
"From" as well?

Only the "display-name" in the From header is encoded. There is no
display-name in the Reply-To header.

While poking my nose in, I also noticed that your news headers contain:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I may be wrong ... but I don't *think* those are compatible. UTF-8 is NOT
a 7-bit encoding, one should use UTF-7 for that.

I am not sure, but it may be that provided the subset of UTF-8 that is
actually used in the message is compatible with C-T-E: 7bit, it is
technically OK. But a little strange nonetheless.
