From RFC 2152 (note the final sentence):
> Use of Character Set UTF-7 Within MIME
>
> Character set UTF-7 is safe for mail transmission and therefore may
> be used with any content transfer encoding in MIME (except where line
> length and line break restrictions are violated). Specifically, the 7
> bit encoding for bodies and the Q encoding for headers are both
> acceptable. The MIME character set tag is UTF-7. This signifies any
> version of Unicode equal to or greater than 2.0.
