Its important that we capture the new facilities the multipart encoding added:
 - content type
 - attachment name (perhaps generalised to content disposition this time around)
 - multiple attachments
 - binary safe

I have no attachment to any particular escaping mechanism used, but the quopri proposal you've supplied here seems to be lacking three of the four things I've listed here, while delivering the fourth very nicely :)

Something combining the two would be most excellent.
