Help decoding mime encoded string

[Saeven]

Hi,

utf8 emails come in with subject strings that look like this:

=?utf-8?B?0J/RgNC40LLQtdGC?=

I'm in a situation where it's necessary to decode it. The function for the task apparently is mb_decode_mimeheader

http://ca.php.net/mb_decode_mimeheader

Unfortunately, attempting to decode the string above produces only queston marks!

  $str = "=?utf-8?B?0J/RgNC40LLQtdGC?=";
  echo mb_decode_mimeheader( $str );

To further verify the issue, where the expected result of the following code is: Привет, it outputs question marks still!

	
    $str = mb_encode_mimeheader( "Привет" );
    echo mb_decode_mimeheader( $str );

Anyone know how to successfully decode these strings?

Is your browser able to display Unicode ?

Because the decoding process may be ok, but the display of Unicode character might
be problematic.

Is it ok on this page for instance : http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html ?
Do you see all the Cyrillic characters ?
(look for "russian" word in that page)

Thanks for the reply.

I can confirm, using Firefox 1.5, that I can see "The first stanza of Pushkin's Bronze Horseman (Russian):" as expected.
