According to this RFC
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2047.html it can be applied to any message header, isn't it? However Mutt shows the mails, which have in their bodies/attaches print-quoted format with spaces, correctly. >>>| Subject: =?koi8-r?Q?iXBT BBS=3A >>>=F2=C5=C7=C9=D3=D4=D2=C1=C3=C9=CF=CE=CE=C1=D1 >>>| =C9=CE=C6=CF=D2=CD=C1=C3=C9=D1 =C4=CC=D1 nobody=2C >>>eet=40uvw=2Eru?= >>>not correct showed in mutt (RFC-correct header) >>> >>> >> This encoded word contains spaces, and that's prohibited.

I've looked through the RFC and found out that it is not correct, so I even don't know what to answer.
