		Hello.

According to RFC2047:
http://www.zvon.org/tmRFC/RFC2047/Output/chapter5.html

An 'encoded-word' MUST NOT be used in parameter of a MIME Content-Type 
or Content-Disposition field, or in any structured field body except 
within a 'comment' or 'phrase'.

Also RFC2183
http://zvon.org/tmRFC/RFC2183/Output/chapter2.html#sub2

2.3. The Filename Parameter
...
Current [RFC2045] grammar restricts parameter values (and hence 
Content-Disposition filenames) to US-ASCII. We recognize the great 
desirability of allowing arbitrary character sets in filenames, but it 
is beyond the scope of this document to define the necessary mechanisms. 
We expect that the basic [RFC1521(-> 2049draft | 2048bcp13 | 2047draft | 
2046draft | 2045draft)] `value' specification will someday be amended to 
allow use of non-US-ASCII characters, at which time the same mechanism 
should be used in the Content-Disposition filename parameter.
...


Today RFC2045 describe syntax of the 'value' and it's still restricted 
to US-ASCII.

In original example only Content-Description field is compliant with 
current RFC, so other fields is violation of RFC and can be implemented 
in any way.
