MIME-encoded email headers not decoded (e.g. =?UTF-8?B?...?= shown literally)

[mfr]

Hi everyone,
I’ve noticed that incoming emails, especially from devices like FritzBox routers, sometimes contain MIME-encoded headers (e.g. Subject that look like this:

=?UTF-8?B?ZmI3NTkwIGVkZ2U=?=

Instead of seeing the decoded string (fb7590 edge in this case), EspoCRM displays the encoded form literally. While the MIME encoding is technically correct and RFC-compliant (even if the content itself is plain ASCII), I would expect EspoCRM to decode this automatically – as most mail clients do.

Is there a way to enable or enforce decoding of MIME-encoded words in email headers (especially the subject)?

Any hints regarding configuration options, extensions, or relevant files to look at would be much appreciated. Alternatively, is this a known limitation or a bug?

Thanks in advance!
Martin

It could be an issue in the latest version of the zbateson/mail-mime-parser library.

We observed a from-address encoding issue in some emails after we upgraded the lib to the latest version.

Could you provide an original content of some problem email? It can be useful if we report the issue upstream.
