   Internet mail was originally limited to 7-bit ASCII.  MIME added
   support for the use of 8-bit character sets in body parts, and also
   defined an encoded-word construct so other character sets could be
   used in certain header field values.  But full internationalization
   of electronic mail requires additional enhancements to allow the use
   of Unicode, including characters outside the ASCII repertoire, in
   mail addresses as well as direct use of Unicode in header fields like
   From:, To:, and Subject:, without requiring the use of complex
   encoded-word constructs.  This document specifies an enhancement to
   the Internet Message Format and to MIME that allows use of Unicode in
   mail addresses and most header field content.

   This specification replaces RFC 5335.  This specification also
   updates Section 6.4 of RFC 2045 to eliminate the restriction
   prohibiting the use of non-identity content-transfer-encodings on
   subtypes of "message/".
