I get lots of mail with RFC2047-encoded From: fields. Mostly ISO-8859-2. Now, when mail-extr gets to those headers, they are already in 8-bit form, which causes mail-extr to fail tragically. I get chopped names, annoying BBDB behavior, and all sorts of breakage. People who get ISO-8859-1 E-mail don't see this, because mail-extr.el is "extended" to handle ISO-8859-1 in a particularly ugly way. I've tried to trace what it is that decodes the headers to 8bit before mail-extr sees them -- but I have no idea. They are RFC2047-encoded on the disk. Looking through my init files also did not produce any clues. Before I go diving into the code to trace the actual execution path, perhaps somebody has suggestions? --J.
