Somethink like =3D?utf-8?Q?P=3Df6stal?=3D

According to RTF we should find the most simple encoding, which is UTF8.

In czech we use ISO-8859-2 and we check if there are only ASCII character=
s =3D
we are using ascii, or if there are some other characters we are using
ISO-8859-2. So the way can be:

- are there only ASCII characters =3D OK let it be
- are there only characters from locale preferred encoding =3D use locale
encoding
- in other cases, use UTF.
