I'm working on a script that grabs messages from a Usenet server and does some work with them. All works nicely except for a few issues with the data I retrieve.
For example, in one newsgroup I find occasional lines containing bits like: "Re: Mlle. =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Ana=EFs_introdooses_her_ownself=2E?=" Is this some sort of bizarre MIME encoding? Looking at the data I can see how what the "=EF" and "=2E" mean, but that stuff after the first = has me confused. And more to the point, is there a python module to handle this? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
