POP3 decoder - Rfc 2047

Is there a DLL to decode this sort of mail subject ?
Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Joe?= is =?utf-8?funny=? in prose

I've found a Doc, it is too much technical for me.

there is an userlib: CGI (URLDecode), but it's easy to do it on your own with theStringField() command. They are value pairs:

URL$ = "URL?name=1=value1&name2=value2"

Code: Select all

Structure pair
  name.s
  value.s
EndStructure
NewList Parameters.pair()
URL$ = Right(URL$, Len(URL$)-FindString(URL$, "?", 1))
i = 1
ThisPair$ = StringField(URL$, i, "&")
While ThisPair$
  AddElement(Parameters())
  Parameters()\name = StringField(ThisPair$, 1, "=")
  Parameters()\value = StringField(ThisPair$, 2, "=")
  i+1
  ThisPair$ = StringField(URL$, i, "&")
Wend

Hope this works, can't test it. Have a nice day,

it's not a URL, it is a encoded string : the result of POP3 transaction.
