a b c d e
You'll notice it's 5 fields separated by '?'
a and e are the initiator and terminator, respectively. They indicate that
it's a MIME encoded header.
b indicates the character encoding of the result.
c indicates the content transfer encoding, in this case, base64
d is the data, which in this case appears to be: äÄöÖüÜß
I used
perl -MMIME::Base64, with a small script to decode this subject.
