Mmmm actually, that doesn't work in some cases:

    my $name = "From: =?UTF-8?B?QW5keSBOZXdieSDDrcOpw7M=?= <andy\@cham
+bresdhotesfrance.com>";

    use MIME::QuotedPrint;

    if ($name  =~ /utf-8|utf8/i) {
        $name= decode_qp($name);
        $name =~ s/([\200-\377]+)/from_utf8({ -string => $1, -charset 
+=> 'ISO-8859-1'})/eg;
    }

    print $IN->header;
    print "NOW: $name";

Prints out:

NOW: From: =?UTF-8?B?QW5keSBOZXdieSDDrcOpw7M=?=
...instead of what I was expecting:

This is a valid email header passed through from Thunderbird. Any ideas why it won't decode?

Cheers
