Subject: librmail-ruby1.8: does not decode encoded headers (example included)
Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2011 16:37:38 +0000
Package: librmail-ruby1.8
Version: 0.17-1.1
Severity: normal

rmail does not appear to detect nor decode encoded headers. Example:

s = "Subject: =?UTF-8?Q?@maafer=5Farteaga:_Simplemente_ya_no_estare_ah=C3=AD?="
m = RMail::Parser.read(s)
puts m.header['Subject']

results in

=?UTF-8?Q?@maafer=5Farteaga:_Simplemente_ya_no_estare_ah=C3=AD?=
