Turns out, I haven't been seeing all the messages on this list :( Sorry all! This change has been reverted. New proposal: MIME.decode_words_text_remapped is the single most obvious way to decode a Subject header (among others), but that's really not obvious from the docs. Can we somehow make that more discoverable? I ended up implementing my own version of that (tediously and buggily [1]), then wanting to fold that into core so other people don't.
