No, I think Handa-san wrote something about double encoding.

Anyway, rmail-yank does decode the headers _in_the_body_ of the
message, so the text is legible where it matters.

Well, I asked which ones don't, and where's the code those others use
to encode the headers.  (I mean where they call rfc2047-encode-*.)
Hopefully, someone will show me that code.  Then perhaps the others
can be fixed to DTRT as well.  (They should have been fixed as part of
the said change, IMO.)
