I assume we did our standard MUA tests and found lowercase is decoded.
A quick check now shows it is decoded on:

Mutt
Exchange (webmail)
Apple Mail

Since Exchange does it, I assume OE and O will do it too.  I don't have
access to a box with those installed right now though.

I do and it does.  I also remember the initial discussions on this change,
and at the time quite a number of clients were found that would decode qp
regardless of case.

I believe that is correct, yes.  And that's as far as we go in 3.0
(if I replace the = with =3D):

This bothers me.  As best I recall reading the discussions, it turned out
that a number of clients would recursively resolve qp until it couldn't be
done anymore, then use the result.  Perhaps though I'm misremembering and it
was only browsers that would do this and not MUAs.


In any case, I believe qp is relatively immaterial in the case in hand.  The
original test was to catch asian spammer domains that put an equal sign in
the middle of the domain name.  This is something that comes and goes as
sort of a fad.
