Hi:

Have been using imp 2.2 and trying imp 3.1.

Both these (great) programs unfortunately do not seem to convert text which has
been coded with iso-8859-1?B? (ie base 64).

Thus subject line of email message is show as (for example):

=?ISO-8859-1?B?U29saWNpdHVkIEludGVybmEgZGUgQ29tcHJhIDE0NjYwIFJlcXV...

Same happens with attachments, looking at the source code:

-included message-wf
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1; name="Enlace de Detalle de
Notificación.html";
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: inline;
filename="=?ISO-8859-1?B?RW5sYWNlIGRlIERldGFsbGUgZGUgTm90aWZpY2FjafNuLmh0bWw=?="

As the file name it not converted imp does not realize this is in fact an .html
file
and thus cannot open/save with correct name.

We are running an Oracle application which insists on coding in this format
(which is
read correctly by Outlook Express).

Am I missing something?

Thanks
