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).
