Research direction
Start with the linked BPO issue 39771 and its email bug archive and screenshots, then inspect the email component's EmailMessage MIME parameter encoding behavior. Reproduce the reported output case and determine the compatibility requirements for encoded words in quoted parameters; done means an agreed behavior is implemented and covered by regression tests.
