Hi, That should work automatically.
If after =?UTF-8 there is ?Q then the non-ascii characters (and =) are represented by their hexadecimal representation, for example ç is =C3=A7. If after =?UTF-8 there is ?B then all characters are encoded using an algorithm that takes 6bits at the time. You can encode and decode this with base64: # echo "something" | base64 # c29tZXRoaW5nCg== #echo "Z3VuZGk=" | base64 -d gundi Ionel On 14-03-2016, at 17h 30'55", Jon LaBadie wrote about "decoding UTF-8" > I frequently find headers (mostly Subject, but also From/To) > that I assume are some representation form for a UTF-8 encoded > string as they start with "=?UTF-8?" and end with "=?= ". > For example: > > To: =?UTF-8?B?Z3VuZGk=?= <user@domain> > > Is my assumption correct?
