Unsurprising, since BB is based on TB.

TB doesn't take much 'provoking' into deciding it needs to use base64 
because of a stray weird character, I can't remember an example of what 
does it, and it may depend on the content type/encoding of the message 
being replied to.

Seeing the msgid being referred to, I assume it's the sharp-s in the 
original body text, rather than the umlaut in the subject, which was 
Q-encoded.
