Hi,

I get a HeaderParseError during decode_header(), but Thunderbird can
display the name.

>>> from email.header import decode_header
>>> decode_header('=?iso-8859-1?B?QW5tZWxkdW5nIE5ldHphbnNjaGx1c3MgU_xkcmluZzNwLmpwZw==?=')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/email/header.py", line 101, in decode_header
    raise HeaderParseError
email.errors.HeaderParseError


How can I parse this in Python?

  Thomas
