> It seems that we automatically decode quoted-printable and base64 encoded bodies, but we ignore encoding when the =?encoding?data? encoding is used in headers.
> We have procedures to deal with this kind of structures but we don't do that: DecoderUtil.decodeEncodedWords
> Should an header field automatically be decoded?
> Related: AFAIK most MUA also deal with 8bit headers (not compliant with MIME) treating them as if they were in the same charset of the body (recently this behavious has been added to Thunderbird too).
