this header is broken in the following ways:

1. the encoded-word contains a SPACE character which is NOT allowed by
the RFCs, because an encoded-word is supposed to be parseable as an atom
token.

2. us-ascii is 7bit, and therefor does not contain extended Latin
characters.

So... the correct encoding of said name would be:

=?iso-8859-1?q?Johan_Blond=E9?=
