decodeInnerWords cannot handle Lotus Domino Webmail generated subjects

843830Nov 5 2005 — edited Nov 6 2005
Just to illustrate the error

System.setProperty("mail.mime.decodetext.strict","false");
MimeMessage mimeMsg = new MimeMessage(Session.getDefaultInstance(System.getProperties(), null));
mimeMsg.setSubject("Test Webmail=?ISO-8859-1?Q?=FCber_Sphere?=");
String subj = mimeMsg.getSubject();
log.debug(subj);

Various flavors of outlook properly decode it even thoug this subject might well be corrupt.

"Test Webmail=?ISO-8859-1?Q?FCber_Sphere?=" would probably succeed (note, one "=" less).

Any thoughts on this quoted printable encoding?
