Some mails are encoded in bad quoted printable format:
I use this function to decode the qprint:

for($i=0;$i<256;$i++)
   {
   $c1=dechex($i);
   if(strlen($c1)==1){$c1="0".$c1;}
   $c1="=".$c1;
   $myqprinta[]=$c1;
   $myqprintb[]=chr($i);
   }

function decode($data,$code)

if(!$code){return imap_utf7_decode($data);}
if($code==0){return imap_utf7_decode($data);}
if($code==1){return imap_utf8($data);}
if($code==2){return ($data);}
if($code==3){return imap_base64($data);}
if($code==4){return imap_qprint(str_replace($myqprinta,$myqprintb,($data)));}
if($code==5){return ($data);}

}

$subject=utf8_decode(imap_utf8($subject));

works instead of imap_qprint on php 4.2.0 (win32)

This function seems to have a bug, when the quoted-printable string contains a "=" without the HEX code of a Character.
I use the regular quoted_printable_decode instead.
