Subject: 27.0.50; message-send-mail fails on non-printable characters in header

1) Reply to the attached email message in gnus.
2) Send the message (C-c C-c)

Emacs gives an error
cl--assertion-failed: Assertion failed: (save-excursion (goto-char (point-min)) (not (re-search-forward "[^.-ÿ]" nil t)))
which isn't helpful at all.

A backtrace with the option "Enter debugger on error" set:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (cl-assertion-failed ((save-excursion (goto-char (point-min)) (not (re-search-forward "[^\0-\377]" nil t))) nil))
  cl--assertion-failed((save-excursion (goto-char (point-min)) (not (re-search-forward "[^\0-\377]" nil t))))
  message-send-mail(nil)
  message-send-via-mail(nil)

The error is caused by a header with unprintable characters. The raw header is:
To: =?iso-8859-1?Q?=E7=A9=8D=E4=B8=B9=E5=B0=BC?= Dan Jacobson
 <jidanni <at> jidanni.org>
which translates to unprintable characters.

When these characters appear in the message body, the user gets a choice:

Non-printable characters found.  Continue sending? (delete, replace, send, edit, ?):
This is given in:
  read-multiple-choice("Non-printable characters found.  Continue sending?" ((100 "delete" "Remove non-printable characters and send") (114 "replace" "Replace non-printable characters with \".\" and send") (115 "send" "Send as is without removing anything") (101 "edit" "Continue editing")))
  message-fix-before-sending()
  message-send(nil)

I propose that the same choice is given to the user when these characters appear in the header. This means the test should also be done in message-fix-before-sending().

Another suggestion: Can an additional choice be given to replace the offending characters with an escaped representation, for example url encoding?
