just a curious (and possibly very ignorant question - please ignore this if
it's annoying - don't throw hard things at me :-)
why do you need to get rid of them? I receive a lot of mails with encoded
subjects:
here an example:
"Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Olympia_2012_/_MV_M=E4rz_der_WJ_L=FCbeck?="
which in the receiving MUA translates to:
"Subject: Olympia 2012 / MV März der WJ Lübeck"
(%auml; and ü of course displayed as the correct umlaut)
wouldn't it be better to have a filter doing the straight-foward encoding?
in worst case a perl one-liner.
As I said, i'm just curious...
