ignores the "*en" in "=?us-ascii*en?q?kevin_smith?="

Details | Diff | Splinter Review 
The current mime decoder can't recognize encoded words in the form:

=?utf-7*ja?q?example_here?=

that is, the "*ja" is parsed as part of the charset. RFC 2184 is on the stds
track, and this change is trivial and backwards compatible with all valid mime
encoders.

Naoki, it's worth looking at this fix proposal.
Actually the above comment was written by me, momoi, borrowing Adrian's
machine at the Mozilla Japan Conf.
thanks for the patch, I'll try to review it soon...

sorry Adrian but your patch is now obsolete and when I looked at the code to
rewrite it, I discovered that jgmyers has already fixed this issue last February.

Thanks anyway for your contribution.
