This function strictly observes parts of RFC 2047 to the extent that it may not decode encoded-words
produced by non-compliant composing agents.
1. It is strict about a 76-character maximum length for encoded-words. Gmail may produce an
encoded-word longer than this, and this will be passed through without decoding.
2. It is strict about the rule that encoded-words be separated by linear-white-space from adjacent
text. Encoded-words not so separated will be ignored.
3. Invalid "B" encodings will cause this function to return without decoding ANY
encoded-words in the string (including any valid ones).
But...
3. Invalid "Q" encodings are decoded with invalid characters (e.g. > 127) still in
place.
The advantage of this function over mb_decode_mimeheader() is that it will decode any character set,
including non-existent ones (by assuming UTF-8).
