User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

Received email with this subject:

=?utf-8?B?UMWZZWRixJvFvm7DoSBwxZlpaGzDocWha2EgLSBMVCBGYW50YXN0aWNrw6EgbWFsaW 5vdsOhIHp2w63FmWF0YQ==?=

Actual results:

This subject is incorrectly showed (without decoding). In other mail software or in webmail is correctly showed.

Expected results:

Show correct subject as:
Předběžná přihláška - LT Fantastická malinová zvířata

Well, that subject violates the spec since there is a space in the string, can you see it, after the W?

There are tools to edit message headers, like the add-on "Header Tools Lite". That should allow you to remove the space.

However, I complained about this before and we fixed it. The fix will be in TB 60.5 due out at the end of January.
