---------------------------------------
Interesting bug history for a related issues in Thunderbird. It took 7 years
for them to find the current solution (this give me some sort of relax
feeling)...

> 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).
