Can I have quoted printable text within a header field? For example, if
I needed to include a copyright symbol in the subject line. I though I
could do
Subject Hello, World! =A9
but it just came through exactly as shown. I tried setting the
Content-Transfer-Encoding to quoted-printable, but this didn't work. I
believe because this feild only applies to the message body.
Does anyone know how I might accomplish this?

Great. Just what we need to fuck up our mail filters.

See RFC 2047. Presuming that you are referring to the iso-8859-1 character
set, you will need to generate:
Subject: Hello World! =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=A9?=

Perfect. Can this be used in To: and From: fields as well? To mask the
"@" character, for example? I've been having trouble with that.

This encoding can be used in certain specific portions of the To: and From:
headers, specifically the "real name" part of an E-mail address, and only
when quoting is not used (although this rule is often broken). This
encoding cannot be used in the actual E-mail address, only in the "real
name" part of an address. To give a more extreme example:
To: =?UTF-8?B?Sm9zw6k=?= Martinez

See RFC 2047 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2047.html
I think what you want is :-
Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Hello,_World!_=A9?=
