I tested the latest OE (ver 6.00.2800.1123), and proved it does not
enbug. All right, but this does not mean you don't have to take care
this kind of broken words. As some MUAs still do a broken encoding,
because of a difficulty around character set conversion and escape
sequences of ISO-2022-*, I wish your code be a little more flexible
though it's not RFC standard.

* actually, there is a long web page describing this (in japanese)
like http://www.din.or.jp/~ohzaki/perl.htm#JP_Base64


Anyway, your sieve.c is good enough for multi-byte filtering.
