Robert Burrell Donkin commented on MIME4J-69:
---------------------------------------------
Decoding every header would have a performance impact if the header data is
never read by the user. It would be better to decode on demand if possible.
> Decoding/encoding is not coherent between headers and body

> Key: MIME4J-69
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-69
> Project: Mime4j
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.4
> Reporter: Stefano Bagnara
> Fix For: 0.4
>
>
> It seems that we automatically decode quoted-printable and base64 encoded
> bodies, but we ignore encoding when the =?encoding?data? encoding is used in
> headers.
> We have procedures to deal with this kind of structures but we don't do that:
> DecoderUtil.decodeEncodedWords
> Should an header field automatically be decoded?
> Related: AFAIK most MUA also deal with 8bit headers (not compliant with MIME)
> treating them as if they were in the same charset of the body (recently this
> behavious has been added to Thunderbird too).
