I can only guess, but Base64 is less efective than QP, and when one uses
non UTF-8 locales (encoding), then no UTF-8 chars are expected and the
QP can results in shorter string. Thus that selection seems to be
logical, but...
The one of reasons, why UTF-8 encodings become default on nowadays
(linux) systems is, that world becomes international and even people
using usASCII only can meet UTF-8 chars (as in your case).
IMO CM have to do proper address encoding despide the locales settings,
thus this can be considered as bug, but that must devs to decide.
