New submission from Fred Drake <fdr...@gmail.com>:

I've encountered a problem parsing an email with this Subject: header:

Subject: Be sure to redeem your =?utf-8?Q?$?=201.71 credit card reward
 certificate by the end of the year

email._header_value_parser.get_unstructured defers to get_encoded_word, passing 
the argument

  '=?utf-8?Q?$?=201.71 credit card reward certificate by the end of the year'

get_encoded_word eventually calls email._encoded_words.decode with the argument

  '=?utf-8?Q?$?=201.71 credit card reward certificate by the end of the year?='

This doesn't seem right, but I'm unsure of the syntactic priority of =XX and ?= 
in this case.

The policy for this is email.policy.SMTP + email.policy.strict (not sure if 
that's ideal; I'm retrieving messages from mbox files and over IMAP).
