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 identifier is UNICODE-1-1-UTF-7.

       Example. Here is a text portion of a MIME message containing the
       Unicode sequence "Hi Mom <WHITE SMILING FACE>!" (hexadecimal 0048,
       0069, 0020, 004D, 006F, 004D, 0020, 263A, 0021).

       Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UNICODE-1-1-UTF-7

       Hi Mom +Jjo-!
