Hm...  When I eval the following:


[...]

>   (mail-encode-encoded-word-string "AH#49 <\"Asshole™#49\"@your.net>")

I get  "AH#49 <=?utf-8?b?QXNzaG9sZcKZIzQ5?=@your.net>".

Could it be a charset thing?

Executing that manually, I get
AH#49 <=?iso-8859-1?q?Asshole=C2=99#49?=@your.net>
without hanging.

Confusion.

Could you try edebugging `mm-find-charset-region', if that's the
function that's inflooping?

FYI, I see similar problems but haven't produced a debug trace yet (my
fault).  More info, however: the summary buffer shows an empty string
for who sent it (%n) but it doesn't hang till you try and read it.

Not in my case.  Summary shows
R  [  21: AH#49 <"Asshole?#49"@yo]   Re: The ...
right off the bat.  Gnus hangs when trying to treat the header; 'C-g'
breaks it loose with debug-on-quit, and quitting the debugger lets me
see the article, though the header is not fontified or colored.

Now, wait one second...  The `?' in that display _looks_ like an
ordinary question mark, but `C-x =' _says_ it's still a \231.

Most peculiar.

I'll debug it later on this evening, probably.
