quoted printable??

[Sandman]

Maybe it's me who is misunderstandin g this, but isn't this string in
quoted printable:

"OLED & =?ISO-8859-1?Q?br=E4nslece ller?="

It's found in the Subject: header in a usenet message (i.e. not in a
mail) which had these headers:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

So, ok - it isn't quoted printable, or? I've always thought that the
Content-Type header only referred to the body of the text, the subject
line still had to be in quoted-printable, which is why swedish
characters in the post body isn't garbled like above. How do I parse
it back to what it's supposed to be:

"OLED & bränsleceller"

Thanks for any help.

Not quoted-printable; see RFC 2047 - MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail
Extensions) Part Three: Message Header Extensions for Non-ASCII Text

Aha - gotcha. Any idea on how to decode it to a 8bit string?

I think the term is "quoted word." It's sort of confusing.

So, ok - it isn't quoted printable, or? I've always thought that the
Content-Type header only referred to the body of the text, the subject
line still had to be in quoted-printable, which is why swedish

With regular expression, of course.

function quoted_word_cal lback($m) {
switch($m[2]) {
case 'Q': case 'q': return quoted_printabl e_decode($m[3]);
case 'B': case 'b': return base64_decode($ m[3]);
}
}

echo preg_replace_ca llback('/=\?(.*)\?([BQ])\?(.*)\?=/U',
'quoted_word_ca llback', $s);

It didn't work...

#!/usr/bin/php
<?
function quoted_word_cal lback($m) {
switch($m[2]) {
case 'Q': case 'q': return quoted_printabl e_decode($m[3]);
case 'B': case 'b': return base64_decode($ m[3]);
}
}
$s = "OLED & =?ISO-8859-1?Q?br=E4nslece ller?=";
echo preg_replace_ca llback('/=\?(.*)\?([BQ])\?(.*)\?=/U',
'quoted_word_ca llback', $s);
?>

Result:

OLED & br”nsleceller

Instead of:

OLED & bränsleceller

The code works fine for me. Just make sure that wherever you're printing
the result can handle ISO-8859-1 characters (it seems you're using it as
shell script so your console may be configured to show UTF-8).

Yes! That was it - sorry about that!
