View | Source is often suggested as a way to allow people to copy-and-paste headers in their entirety. However, if the headers are MIME-encoded, the user has to copy them as is and they may end up unreadable or unuseable by whomever gets the resultant paste. I'd like to see an option in the source window -- View | Decoded Headers -- which would parse the header section of the displayed source and substitute any MIME-encoded header (RFC 2047) with its decoded version. This should also be applied to attachment filenames with RFC-2231 encoding.
