[arachne] 8 bit encoding in e-mail headers

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Hi list,

is there anybody who can answer to the following questions?

1. Contemporary mail clients allow 8 bit input in headers (subject,
from etc.). They usually encode those lines in this way:

Subject: =?iso-8859-2?Q?COENAweb=3A=20Nov=FD=20=E8l=E1nek?=

=?iso-8859-2?  - indicates the codepage,
Q?             - probably means quoted-printable
=XY            - are replacements of 8bit character
?=             - probably indicates end of encoding

How can I (Arachne) filter these lines in order to get 8bit or at
least 7bit pure text? This would be quite an improving when opening
the inbox list (see http://www.volny.cz/cce.zizkov/download/page.zbm).

2. Arachne comes with the files uuencode.exe and uudecode.exe. What
are the supposed to do and how do they work?
