[dev] backslash in subject being "expanded"?

[Marc Jauvin]

OK, I found it in "framework/MIME/MIME.php":

     function decode($string, $to_charset = null)
     {
         return stripslashes(MIME::_decode($string, $to_charset));
     }

MIME::decode() is being called in imp/mailbox.php (in particular) to  
decode the subject of the emails.

As a test, I've removed the stripslashes() call and it fixes my  
problem. but am thinking it must have been put there for a reason...

Anybody knows a good reason for this?
