(Minor correction: the Q up there stands for for Quoted Printable. Had it been B it would have stood for Base64. Sorry for being such a nag) What I really wanted to say is that my Dec 18 2001 perl script for conversion of this kind of headers is much uglier than my current one which I use to send hebrew subject lines to my hebrew-disbaled cellphone: sub tostring { use MIME::Base64; use MIME::QuotedPrint; my $s = shift; my @spl = split('\?', $s); my ($raw, $charset, $enc, $str); return $s if ($#spl != 4 || $spl[0] ne '='); ($_, $charset, $enc, $str) = @spl; if ($enc eq 'Q') { $raw = decode_qp($str)} if ($enc eq 'B') { $raw = decode_base64($str)} #TODO: handle other charsets - this assumes windows-1255 or iso-8859-8 $raw =~ tr/&alef;&bet;ℷ&dalet;&he;&vav;&zayin;&het;&tet;&yod;&fkaf;&kaf;&lamed;&fmem;&mem;&fnun;&nun;&samekh;&ayin;&fpe;&pe;&ftsadi;&tsadi;&qof;&resh;&shin;&tav;/abgdhvzx@ykklmmnns&ppccqr$t/; return $raw; } Dan. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
