Package: php-mail-mimedecode
Version: 1.5.0-3
Severity: normal


_decodeHeader is recursive in nature re-parsing its output until no
more is found. this leads to some headers that contain encoded versions 
of what looks like RFC2047 data to be misrepresented,

EG: "test =?us-ascii?B?PT9VVEYtOD9RP3h4Pz0=?= 123"
should decode to "test =?UTF-8?Q?xx?= 123"
but does not.

it also folds all character sets together losing some of the
information it it meant to retrieve, 

here is a corrected version which consistently outputs utf-8:


function _decodeHeader($input) /* undo rfc2047 encoding */
    {
	$output='';
        // Remove white space between encoded-words
        $input = preg_replace('/(=\?[^?]+\?(q|b)\?[^?]*\?=)(\s)+=\?/i', '\1=?', $input);

        // For each encoded-word...
        while (preg_match('/(=\?([^?]+)\?(q|b)\?([^?]*)\?=)/i', $input, $matches)) {

            $encoded  = $matches[1];
            $charset  = $matches[2];
            $encoding = $matches[3];
            $text     = $matches[4];

            switch (strtolower($encoding)) {
                case 'b':
                    $text = base64_decode($text);
                    break;

                case 'q':
                    $text = str_replace('_', ' ', $text);
                    preg_match_all('/=([a-f0-9]{2})/i', $text, $matches);
                    foreach($matches[1] as $value)
                        $text = str_replace('='.$value, chr(hexdec($value)), $text);
                    break;
            }

            $text= iconv($charset,'UTF-8',$text); // you may not want this?

	    $pos=strpos($input,$encoded);
            $len=strlen($encoded);
            $output.=substr($input,0,$pos).$text;
	    $input=substr($input,$pos+$len);
        }
	$output .= $input;
        return $output;
    }
