Unfortunately, RFC 2047 encoding is explicitly forbidden to be used for
MIME parameter values.  There is a different standard for encoding MIME
parameter values (RFC 2231) that nmh supports.  But it seems that a lot
of MUAs still get this wrong.  I'd rather leave it that mhfixmsg will
correct this instead of natively decoding it.
