Actually, that header is encoded in Quoted-Printable. The format is charset followed by encoding method, where Q is Quoted-Printable and B is Base 64. Usually, converters look for the body of the message, and if one of the headers says that it is decoded (either as Quoted-Printable or Base64), they decode it. There are some mail converters who fail to convert the headers. For example, I run an old version of Eudora on my Mac, and it decodes those headers well if the charset is familiar to them, and leave it as is if the charset is unfamiliar.
