I was just skimming this thread until I hit MH-E :-). Since Eric is
using MH-E and seems to have a bleeding edge nmh, I'll trust him to
pick up any problems in MH-E due to changes he makes.

I thought nmh already handled RFC 2047 decoding in the Subject and
recipient fields, no? If you think MH-E is doing some decoding, please
send me a sample message that demonstrates what nmh doesn't handle
that MH-E does and I'll check the code.
