Hi~
MailScaner works fine on my system, but I found some subject(Big5) of
emails with base64 encoding were not decoded properly. I have two accounts
which receive emails from Microsoft, one does not pass through MailScaner,
another does.
The below picture is the result of two same emails from Microsoft.

If the email didn't pass through MailScanner, the subject in the header
will be:
Subject: =?big5?B?

wMDMgtmmm5rFNrtel9LDIs1e5urtQsca1e7resbEgLSCnS7ZPvdK1ew==?=
After processing by MailScanner, it became:
[#L#n###T#######{###T] #p###Q##Microsoft OfficeProject 2003
#i###M#######W###P###{#### - #K#O###{
Was this unproper decoding caused by MailScanner ??

Thanks in advance.
