Rails - Mar 2007 - imap and character enconding

Hi, hi, hi little droogies


First of all, sorry for the lame english and the dumb question. After a
quick search on google I found iconv, and some other toys, but the point
is:

I''m making a small webmail app for my company, still taking the first
steps. For instance, if I want to read my INBOX folder and list the
messages:

-------------------------------------------
CONTROLLER =>
def list_inbox
    imap = Net::IMAP.new(''xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'')
    imap.authenticate(''LOGIN'',
''username-9IKiO1iGCm/QT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org'',
''password'')
    imap.select(''INBOX'')
    @emails = []
    imap.search(["ALL"]).each do |i|
      @emails << imap.fetch(i,
"ENVELOPE")[0].attr["ENVELOPE"]
    end
    imap.disconnect
end

VIEW =>
<h1>Webmail#list_inbox</h1>
  <% @emails.each do |i| %>
        <%= i.from[0].name %> / <%= i.subject %><br />
    <% end %>
-------------------------------------------------

The enconding seems messed up, when the message comes in iso-8859-1
format, it''s preceeded with "=?iso-8859-1?Q?", same for utf-8
"=?UTF-8?Q?". And the accents come encoded too (=E9 => é).How can I
solve this?

Thanks in advance.

That''s the way non-ASCII headers are supposed to be encoded. You need  
to read:
