Yes.

RFC 2616, section 2.2. For example,

  Content-Type: text/plain;charset="=?utf-8?b?SVNPLTg4NTktMg==?="

is a valid way to write this header, although using mime word encoding
for ascii-only strings is not recommended.

Well that depends on what you look at, CP850, UTF8, UTF16, ISO8859-1,
ISO8859-15, Windows-1252 are all in common use.

That would certainly work for me.
