RFC-3977 say the following about headers:

- The names of headers (e.g., "From" or "Subject") MUST be in
  US-ASCII.

- Header values SHOULD use US-ASCII or an encoding based on it, such
  as RFC 2047 [RFC2047], until such time as another approach has
  been standardised.  At present, 8-bit encodings (including UTF-8)
  SHOULD NOT be used because they are likely to cause
  interoperability problems.

But in practice for now there is no way to reliable find a header's
encoding.
