"Return and PARAM=VALUE string encoded in the RFC2047-like style.
-This is a replacement for the `rfc2231-encode-string' function.
-
-When attaching files as MIME parts, we should use the RFC2231 encoding
-to specify the file names containing non-ASCII characters. However,
-many mail softwares don't support it in practice and recipients won't
-be able to extract files with correct names. Instead, the RFC2047-like
-encoding is acceptable generally. This function provides the very
-RFC2047-like encoding, resigning to such a regrettable trend. To use
-it, put the following line in your ~/.gnus.el file:
-
-\(defalias 'mail-header-encode-parameter 'rfc2047-encode-parameter)
-"
+This is a substitution for the `rfc2231-encode-string' function, that
+is the standard but many mailers don't support it."
