Comment(by vinc17):
The robustness principle must not have the side effect to interpret
something valid incorrectly. If
Subject: =?us-ascii?Q?Ein neuer?=
is a valid Subject field whose subject is
=?us-ascii?Q?Ein neuer?=
(according to RFC 2047 it seems to be allowed -- but I haven't checked it
entirely), then the MUA must not try to correct it (even though you may
think that such a subject will never happen, it may in practice, say, in a
discussion on mail RFCs, and not dealing with it correctly can be very
bad).
