Email header decoding

Dear Group,
I've got a problem with decoding e-mail message subject, which has
been read within usage of Pear_Mail_Mime library.
There are some elements unwelcome in my subject string, such as:
=?ISO-8859-2?Q?My subject.
Especially when subject contains polish characters, i.e.:
=?ISO-8859-2?Q?Temat listu, bardzo wa=BFny, gdy=BF zawi=EAr=B1
p=F3l=B6ki=EA =BF=F1=B1ki, =
What is the easiest method of decoding it into the UTF-8 encoding?
Probably it is a common problem, so where can I find a solution for
it?
Thank you for help and all the best,

| A quick google search came up with the following function: http://www.greywyvern.com/code/php/iso88592_2utf8
Looking at the PHP manual's utf8_encode method, the comments also
suggested looking into the following functions, but wasn't very
specific about how they could help: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.recode-string.php
I hope that helps you! |

| That is q-encoding. You need to decode that string and then you can
convert to UTF-8.
Take a look at this MIME parser class that can decode messages with
headers like that: http://www.phpclasses.org/mimeparser
