Comment 2 by stephenm@golang.org:
rfc 2616 (the http/1.1 spec) states that quoted strings in the header values can contain only iso 8859-1 characters, and also states that non iso 8859-1 text needs to be encoded using rfc 2047. This is repeated in rfc 5987. Having said that, support for utf-8 encoding using rfc 5987 should be added. Also, if there's a way in which we can correctly handle iso 8859-1 characters in the filename, it would make sense to implement that as well.
