Currently, Pike's MIME.Message parser doesn't handle non-ASCII headers
with specified encodings:
> MIME.Message("Hello, world!", (["Subject": "Hello, \U0001F310"]));
(10) Result: Message(([ ]))
> (string)_;
(11) Result: "Subject: Hello, \U0001f310\r\n"
"Content-Length: 13\r\n"
"\r\n"
"Hello, world!"
Going the other way:
> MIME.Message("Subject: =?UTF-8?B?SGVsbG8sIPCfjJA=?=\r\n\r\nHello, world!");
(13) Result: Message(([ ]))
> _->headers;
(14) Result: ([ /* 1 element */
"subject": "=?UTF-8?B?SGVsbG8sIPCfjJA=?="
])
I'm currently working with IMAP and RFC[2]822 messages. I could either
implement RFC 2047 parsing in my app, or enhance MIME.Message to
return Unicode strings automatically.
Would this functionality be welcomed in trunk?
