[issue8132] email.header.decode_header makes mistakes

[grumetz]

New submission from grumetz <jpgrumetz at free.fr>:

Examples:

s = '=?UTF-8?B?QWNjdXPDqSBkZSByw6ljZXB0aW9uIChhZmZpY2jDqSkgLSA=?=Arobase !'
decode_header(s) --->
[('=?UTF-8?B?QWNjdXPDqSBkZSByw6ljZXB0aW9uIChhZmZpY2jDqSkgLSA=?=Arobase !', None)]
which seems bad...
but
ss ='=?UTF-8?B?QWNjdXPDqSBkZSByw6ljZXB0aW9uIChhZmZpY2jDqSkgLSA=?= Arobase !'
decode_header(ss) --->
[('Accus\xc3\xa9 de r\xc3\xa9ception (affich\xc3\xa9) - ', 'utf-8'), ('Arobase !', None)]
which seems good...
