This may be more a dev question but I thought I'd start here.

I've been seeing this rule (SUBJECT_ENCODED_TWICE) trigger recently and
it is confusing me.

3.1.0 defines it as :header SUBJECT_ENCODED_TWICE   Subject:raw =~ /=
\?\S+\?[BQ]\?.*=\?\S+\?[BQ]\?/i

It checks for a subject line having two encoded sections however I'm not
sure why it does this. I've checked RFC 2047 and two encoded sections
does not appear to be a violation. In fact it gives an example of
exactly this:

>From http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2047.txt:

8. Examples

   The following are examples of message headers containing 'encoded-
   word's:

   From: =?US-ASCII?Q?Keith_Moore?= <moore@cs.utk.edu>
   To: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
   CC: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Andr=E9?= Pirard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
   Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?B?SWYgeW91IGNhbiByZWFkIHRoaXMgeW8=?=
    =?ISO-8859-2?B?dSB1bmRlcnN0YW5kIHRoZSBleGFtcGxlLg==?=

So why the disconnect?
