Decoding/encoding is not coherent between headers and body

                 Key: MIME4J-69
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-69
             Project: Mime4j
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.4
            Reporter: Stefano Bagnara
             Fix For: 0.4


It seems that we automatically decode quoted-printable and base64 encoded 
bodies, but we ignore encoding when the =?encoding?data? encoding is used in 
headers.

We have procedures to deal with this kind of structures but we don't do that: 
DecoderUtil.decodeEncodedWords

Should an header field automatically be decoded?

Related: AFAIK most MUA also deal with 8bit headers (not compliant with MIME) 
treating them as if they were in the same charset of the body (recently this 
behavious has been added to Thunderbird too).
