Here we are in 2022, yet I still occasionally receive tickets, or most recently even a merge request (!154), about this. Obviously some mail clients are *still* improperly applying 2047 encoding.
Making the situation worse, the config variable name isn't intuitive (to someone who isn't familiar with the relevant rfcs), so the user usually has no idea how to fix the problem. Even the merge request author, who was skilled enough to hack the code, wasn't aware there was already a variable.
To me, enabling the variable has low potential risk and would definitely save user frustration, but I'd like to hear if there are potential downsides to doing this.
