Auto decoding Quoted-Printable

Auto decoding Quoted-Printable

When I get an e-mail with Quoted-Printable letters, and the header
contains these lines:

 Mime-Version: 1.0
 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Shouldn't Gnus then decode the body automagically (it doesn't right
now), or do I have to tell Gnus that (if so, how?)?

I thought about putting 'gnus-article-de-quoted-unreadable in my
'gnus-article-display-hook, but thats a bit silly, since only emails
with the "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable"-header-line
need to be processed!?


(Gnus v5.2.25; nntp 4.0; nnml 1.0; nndoc 1.0; nnfolder 1.0)

[If this has been fixed in a newer version, I apologize.]


  Best regards,

    Adam.

I have
  (add-hook 'gnus-article-prepare-hook 'gnus-article-de-quoted-unreadable)
  (setq gnus-strict-mime t)

This only takes care of the =3D stuff, but that is sufficient for most
cases.  For base64 etc. I just M-t the matter over to metamail.  

Yes, I know TM would make all this a lot easier, but I really can't be
bothered :-)
