Actually, I put quotes around your (Ulrich's) name in utf-8 in one of
the messages, saved it and loaded it back into VM.  The VM-v5-Data
header had the quote marks inside the utf-8 bits, and VM seems to have
handled it without any problem.  So, the problem reported here was
probably a consequence of the other VM-v5-Data problems which are now
fixed.  So, I think we can ignore this bug report unless Marcin comes
back with some new information.  I am changing the status to
"incomplete".

Bug description:
VM 8.0.12
X-VM-v5-Data is encoded by vm-mime.el:vm-mime-encode-words, 
unfortunately, it is not aware of quote marks, so when it encounters 
a string: 
"\"Wechikuł czasu"\" it encodes it as follows:
"=?utf-8?Q?\"Wehiku=C5=82 czasu\"?="
As You can notice, quote marks are inside, making this string impossible to
evaluate later.

My proposed fix is to change vm-vars.el:vm-mime-encode-headers-words-regexp so it doesn't span over " marks.
(see patch)
After this change, string is encoded as follows:

"\"=?utf-8?Q?Wehiku=C5=82?= czasu\""
