Whether VG9tYXMgTWFydGnFoWl1cyA8dG9tYXNAcHVnYS52ZHUubHQ+ can be /decoded/ to something that contains a mail-address is not relevant. The header From: =?utf-8?b?VG9tYXMgTWFydGnFoWl1cyA8dG9tYXNAcHVnYS52ZHUubHQ+?= does not fullfill the syntax required by RFC 2822. These syntax requiremts apply to the (possibly rfc2047-) *encoded* field contents, not to the decoded values. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
