Hi,
i received a message in which gnus did not decode the subject.
it looked like:
Subject: =?koi8-r?B?UmU6IG1zIG9mZmljZSAyMDAwLCDe1M/CIMXHzy4uLg?=
i think that perhaps the string is not encoded 100% correctly, -- it
lacks two figns `==' at the end:
(rfc2047-decode-string "=?koi8-r?B?UmU6IG1zIG9mZmljZSAyMDAwLCDe1M/CIMXHzy4uLg?=")
"=?koi8-r?B?UmU6IG1zIG9mZmljZSAyMDAwLCDe1M/CIMXHzy4uLg?="
(rfc2047-decode-string "=?koi8-r?B?UmU6IG1zIG9mZmljZSAyMDAwLCDe1M/CIMXHzy4uLg==?=")
"Re: ms office 2000, чтоб его..."
would it be possible, nevertheless, to make rfc2047-decode-string more
liberal to this sort of `bugs' in encoded-words?
Best regards, -- Vladimir.

It is because of base64.
(base64-decode-string "UmU6IG1zIG9mZmljZSAyMDAwLCDe1M/CIMXHzy4uLg")
=> nil
or
=> error in Emacs 21
(base64-decode-string "UmU6IG1zIG9mZmljZSAyMDAwLCDe1M/CIMXHzy4uLg==")
=> "Re: ...."
In the base64.el, this has been fixed.
Anyway, I've fixed it in rfc2047 by padding the string.
