Problem: viewing of japanese subject strings collaped sometimes
(in mailbox view and message view)
Reason:
Japanese mails uses iso-2022-jp(7 bit) encoding, for example;
Subject: =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCJSYlIyVrJTk2bj18GyhC?=
This string is decoded by decode() in horde/lib/Horde/MIME.php;
(line 351)
case 'B':
case 'b':
$decoded = urldecode(base64_decode($encoded_text));
$decoded = String::convertCharset($decoded, $charset, $to_charset);
The result string of base64_decode() is;
esc $ B % & % # % k % 9 6 n = | esc ( B (18 bytes total)
^ ^ ^
these '%9' and '6n' repesent japanese characters,
but urldecode() convert '%96' to another one !!
So, urldecode() is not need for iso-2022-jp encoding.
