    Email header decoding

    Dear Group,

    I've got a problem with decoding e-mail message subject, which has
    been read within usage of Pear_Mail_Mime library.

    There are some elements unwelcome in my subject string, such as:

    =?ISO-8859-2?Q?My subject.

    Especially when subject contains polish characters, i.e.:

    =?ISO-8859-2?Q?Temat listu, bardzo wa=BFny, gdy=BF zawi=EAr=B1
    p=F3l=B6ki=EA =BF=F1=B1ki, =

    What is the easiest method of decoding it into the UTF-8 encoding?
    Probably it is a common problem, so where can I find a solution for
    it?

    Thank you for help and all the best,
    Przemek M. Zawada

      A quick google search came up with the following function:
      404: Not Found
      http://www.greywyvern.com/code/php/iso88592_2utf8
      There was an error fulfilling your request


      Looking at the PHP manual's utf8_encode method, the comments also
      suggested looking into the following functions, but wasn't very
      specific about how they could help:
      PHP: iconv - Manual
      http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php
      Convert a string from one character encoding to another

      PHP: recode_string - Manual
      http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.recode-string.php
      Recode a string according to a recode request



      I hope that helps you!

          That is q-encoding. You need to decode that string and then you can
          convert to UTF-8.

          Take a look at this MIME parser class that can decode messages with
          headers like that:
