It turns out that RFC 2047 encoded headers are not decoded before
matching against the regexps. Is that the issue here? What do the raw
headers look like?

I think that the headers should be decoded, but I wonder if people are
currently working around this with regexps that match encoded headers
and wouldn't match decoded headers.
