I can understand claws using (whatever) form of encoding for
text that it has to encode that you provided in your reply, but
for copying values in incoming headers into outgoing headers 
why doesn't it just copy the literal byte sequence of the 
original encoded values?

It surely shouldn't matter if the reply email contains multiple
encoded strings using different forms of encoding, as each
fragment declares the encoding it uses.
