Re: How to convert base64 string to utf-8
Hi, ALexander N. Treyner wrote: hello =?windows-1255?Q?=F9=EC=E5=ED_hello_world?= After converting it by code you wrote into utf-8, the "_" is still present between second "hello" and "world". Is it right behavior? You can re-invent the wheel for that problem, or simply use MIME::Words, revisit http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg02108.html Ciao Guido -- Imperia AG, Development Leyboldstr. 10 - D-50354 HÃrth - http://www.imperia.net/

Encode also has a MIME
Encode::decode('MIME-Header',$tag);
The decode is okay, its version of encode is not compliant.

I personaly have never seen anything at all in UTF-7 if it really is
common we can add it to Encode.

No - '_' is an encoding of '0x20' in the codeset, for ASCII based codesets that is space. > >Thx, >Alex.
