No. You're talking about ftext, not qtext. The only place that qtext
is allowed is in the contents of quoted-string. Note that qtext above
includes NO_WS_CTL, which is control characters except for CR, LF,
and white space.

For header field names, ftext is defined as:

ftext = %d33-57 / ; Any character except
                         %d59-126 ; controls, SP, and
                                                 ; ":".
