No. You have to use filters that know how to handle that encoding, which is legal, by the way. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Those lines are Base64 encoded UTF-8 strings (the end is wrong though). Schema is: =? CHARSET ? ENCODING ? ENCODED_STRING ?= CHARSET is one of the official encoding names (first in line in the output of 'recode -l' is a good guess). ENCODING is either Q for Quoted-Printable or B for Base64. You could e.g. use this to decode the Subject: ==== /tmp/t.txt ==== From: foo Subject: =?UTF-8?B?UmU6IFtvcGVuc3VzZS1vZmZ0b3BpY10gUmU6IFtvcGVuc3VzZS1vZmY?= =?UTF-8?B?dG9waWNdIFJlOiBbb3BlbnN1c2Utb2ZmdG9waWNdIFJlOiBbb3BlbnN1c2Utb2Y?= =?UTF-8?B?ZnRvcGljXSBGd2Q6IFRoZSBDb21wbGV0ZSBIaXN0b3J5IG9mIE1vbnNhbnRvLCA?= =?UTF-8?B?4oCcVGhlIFdvcmxk4oCZcyBNb3N0IEV2aWwgQ29ycG9yYXRpb27igJ0?= To: bar ==== $ perl -MMIME::Head -e 'my $head = MIME::Head->new( \*STDIN ); \ $head->decode; print $head->get("Subject");' \ < /tmp/t.txt | recode utf8..latin9 Re: [opensuse-offtopic] Re: [opensuse-offtopic] Re: [opensuse-offtopic] Re: [opensuse-offtopic] Fwd: The Complete History of Monsanto, "The World's Most Evil Corporation" Note, that I fixed the end-code of the encoded headers from =? to ?=.

Carl, are you ever operating in the same decade as the rest of society?

What problem? It works fine with SuSE 10.1 / perl 5.8.8. Do you have perl-MIME-tools installed? -dnh -- It was horrible. I had friends in high school who wanted to have sex with my mother.
