Right now, I'm getting things like:
'=?iso-8859-1?Q?Christiana_M=2E_Khalif=E9?=
This looks to me like a legal field value in a header according to
MIME. (I don't have the exact RFC at hand, but I have read it.) What
is it you are trying to do? When I read it with Pine and piped it to
a little script to translate the Quoted-Printable, it came out just
fine. Some readers (such as, but not only, Pine) can handle this with
no problem, as it conforms to standard. The =2E is a period, and the
=E9 is a lower case e with an acute accent (according to ISO-8859-1).
Are you trying to convert these sorts of headers when you view the
bozolog, or just what? If you can capture them in the first place with
a procmail recipe, possibly you could convert them with a little Perl
script, such as a takeoff on the one I use for viewing mail with QP
when the MIME headers have been stripped.
perl5 -pe 's/\=([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})/chr(hex($1))/ge; s/\=\n//;'
