Dear Maintainer,

The rfc2047_parameters option is not particularly easy to discover in
the manpage and/or figure out it may help for the particular issue it is
meant to fix.

See this thread on debian-user for an example.
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2020/03/msg00886.html

I would kindly suggest it is enabled by default as it doesn't affect the
correct case and helps a lot with mail sent by buggy clients.

Kind regards,
Andrei

The manpages says:
----%<---------%<----- ----%<-----
Note that this use of RFC2047's encoding is explicitly prohibited by
the standard, but nevertheless encountered in the wild and produced
by, e.g., Outlook
----%<---------%<----- ----%<-----

Not sure if it should be set to true by default,.. let's try to check
why it is explicitly prohibited.
