imap_mime_header_decode -- Decode MIME header elements
Description
array 
imap_mime_header_decode ( string text )
     imap_mime_header_decode() function decodes 
     MIME message header extensions that are non ASCII text 
     (see RFC2047).
     The decoded elements are returned in an array of objects, 
     where each object has two properties, "charset" and "text".
     If the element hasn't been encoded, and in other words is in 
     plain US-ASCII,the "charset" property of that element is set to 
     "default".
    
     
Example 1. imap_mime_header_decode() example 
<?php $text = "=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= <keld@example.com>";
  $elements = imap_mime_header_decode($text); for ($i=0; $i<count($elements); $i++) {     echo "Charset: {$elements[$i]->charset}\n";     echo "Text: {$elements[$i]->text}\n\n"; } ?>

     In the above example we would have two elements, whereas the first
     element had previously been encoded with ISO-8859-1, and the second
     element would be plain US-ASCII.
