Re: [gmime-devel] Decoding UTF-8 headers

[Dirk-Jan C. Binnema <djcb bulk gmail com>]

Hi,

I have some messages which have invalidly encoded fields -- basically fields
incorrectly claiming they are utf8. e.g

  Subject: Re: =?utf-8?B?UGlk5HR0ZWv2IHR59nN05G5uZT8=?=

which causes GMime (at least v 2.4.24) to return non-valid utf8. I worked
around this in my code by checking, and (ugly hack) replacing non-utf8 with
dots, but it'd be nice if GMime could guarantee that whatever it returns is
always valid UTF8.

Best wishes,
Dirk.
