Hi, I've posted before about that mutt can not decode a mime qp-encoded string with raw spaces in it. I was answered that the standard doesn't accept a raw space in qp-encoded string.
I took it for granted. But today I happened to find that Perl module "MIME::QuotedPrint"s encode_qp() also leaves the space as it is. It doesn't encode space as '=20'. Thus I turn to check the unix tool 'mimencode' (from package metamail-2.7) and find it does in the same loose way. * I would comment that mutt has a too strict strategy to DECODE such non-standard qp-encoded string, hasn't it? best regards, charlie
