Only as MIME encoded words and only in header fields, cf. RFC 2368,
e.g.:

  <mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de%20%28%3D%3FUTF-8%3FB%3FQmrDtnJuIEjDtmhybWFubg%3D%3D%3F%3D%29?subject=%3D%3FUTF-8%3FB%3FQmrDtnJuIEjDtmhybWFubg%3D%3D%3F%3D>

This should produce

  To: bjoern@hoehrmann.de (=?UTF-8?B?QmrDtnJuIEjDtmhybWFubg==?=)
  Subject: =?UTF-8?B?QmrDtnJuIEjDtmhybWFubg==?=

or after MIME decoding

  To: bjoern@hoehrmann.de (Björn Höhrmann)
  Subject: Björn Höhrmann

In fact, you can use any MIME compatible encoding.
