Having just followed this thread tangentially, I do have to say it
seems quite cool to be able to do something like the following in
Python 2.2:
>>> s = msg['from']
>>> parts = s.split('?')
>>> if parts[2].lower() == 'q':
... name = parts[3].decode('quopri')
... elif parts[2].lower() == 'b':
... name = parts[3].decode('base64')
...
