20.2 RFC 2047 – MIME, Part three

This section described the function offered by Bigloo to decode the RFC 2047 encoding used in mail headers (see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2047).

Bigloo Mail procedure: rfc2047-decode-port ip op [:charset iso-latin-1]

Bigloo Mail procedure: rfc2047-decode string [:charset iso-latin-1]

These functions decode mail header fields encoded using the RFC 2047 specification. The optional argument charset specified in which charset the result should be encoded. The allowed values are:

• utf-8
• iso-latin-1
• cp-1252

Example:

(rfc2047-decode "Poste =?ISO-8859-1?Q?t=E9l=E9phonique?=")
  ⇒ "Poste téléphonique"
(string-for-read (rfc2047-decode "Poste =?ISO-8859-1?Q?t=E9l=E9phonique?=" :charset 'utf8))
  ⇒ "Poste t\303\251l\303\251phonique"
