Not sure what exactly you mean, but KMail does, of course, create 
2231-encoded headers for attachments with non-ASCII names. Though, much 
to my dismay, KMail also has a Microsoft-compatibility mode for 
creating those headers in Microsoft's RFC-violating format.

And that KMail understands messages using 2231 syntax should be obvious.

I guess the problem with 2231 is that Microsoft products will probably 
never create such messages because that would break backwards 
compatibility with their old products.
