Package: mimedecode Version: 1.9-2 Severity: normal Error description:
I am pre filtering SPAM manuell inside of procmail before spamassassin.
For this it is neccesarily to decode soem "Subject:" headers, because
many SPAMers using base64 and qp encodings to aviod detection be SPAM
filters.
Now if I pipe
SUB=`formail -zx Subject: |mimedecode`
I get results like:

I have encountered that mimedecode does not support the
=?ISO-8859-.[1].[0-9]?[qQbB? .... ?=
strings at the beginning of a Line which isan Error.
So if I try to decode:

=?iso-8859-1?B?ZXNhcmlvIDIxMDAvMjEyMA==?=

it does not work but:

Please can you correct the a code ?
This will make mimedecode more useful because pre filtering with
'sed' and then decoding with (qp|base64)-decode taks to much time.
Thanks
