RFC 2231 defines many things, but the only definition relevant for
Postfix is the encoded-word syntax =?charset*lang?encoding?gibberish?='.
This allows a recipient to determine the language of the sender's
full name, which in turn can be used to pronounce that name correctly.

If there is demand, then support for that syntax can be added later. 
Hint: I don't find any instances of such syntax in my email archive.

With FUSE, anyone with sufficient skill and motivation can implement
a filesystem interface to access arbitrary parts from email messages.
