New submission from Jim Minter:
Python 3.3.2 (default, Mar 5 2014, 08:21:05)
[GCC 4.8.2 20131212 (Red Hat 4.8.2-7)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import email.header
>>> email.header.decode_header("foo")
[('foo', None)]
>>> email.header.decode_header("foo=?windows-1252?Q?bar?=")
[(b'foo', None), (b'bar', 'windows-1252')]
I may well be wrong, but I believe it's erroneous that in the second example
above, b'foo' is returned instead of the expected 'foo'.
