Hi,

I'm trying to decode an email body, with stuff like:

=C2=A0 *Email:*=C2=A0 =C2=A0=C2=A0

I'm trying to use this module:

https://metacpan.org/pod/MIME::Words

But it doesn't seem to want to work for me :( 

 my $message = q|testing a reply *Do it as *html=C2=
  =A0I guess Andy Newby=C2=A0 *Email:*=C2=A0 =C2=A0=C2=A0 andy@xx.co.u
+k =C2=A0 * WWW: =C2=A0 =C2=A0=C2=A0 * http://www.xx.co.=
  uk =C2=A0 Mobile:=C2=A0* =
  =C2=A002269 201 576 =C2=A0=C2=A0
  |;

  use MIME::Words qw(:all);

  my $test = decode_mimewords($message);

  print "FOO: $test \n";

All I get outputted, is the exact same input. Could someone please advise on how I can do this? (I've never really dabbled with reading emails before, so this is a bit new to me)

Thanks

Andy
