Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; Maxthon; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.0.6 (20050716)

For example:
Subject: =?koi8-r?B?KioqIPXXxcTPzczFzsnFIM8g08/T1M/RzsnJIOzJw8XXz8fPINPexdTB=?=
This line is not decoded and displayed as is.
My previous e-mail client (The Bat) was able to decode this subject.

Reproducible: Always
Related to/duplicate of bug 228133 -> Core bug 90584?
The Base64 data in that subject is malformed -- between the ?B? and the ?=, there should be an a multiple of four characters.

There was a patch to address some subset of this problem, checked in on the 
1.8.1 branch as well as the trunk, but TB 2a1 & 3a1 builds aren't handling it.
