mail-extr doesn't handle RFC1522 encodings, but I wish it did.
However, it's *really hard* to write a correct parser for that
stuff; there are ten gazillion margin cases and funny interactions.
Does tm or one of the other MIME handling packages already contain 
one?  You will be a happier person if you don't have to implement it
yourself, believe me.
