Hm, yes, when selecting the message/rfc822 part in the nndoc buffer,
the qp decoding isn't performed.  Which is kinda logical looking at
the code, since the message/rfc822 is a bit special.

Yes...  Would removing the CTE header be the right thing to do, I
wonder?  The message/rfc822 thing should possibly be given a
re-think.
