One final note on this bit of code: if there are multiple encoded words,
we grab the $charset from the final encoded word, and never report the
earlier charsets. Technically they do not all have to be the same
(rfc2047 even has an example where they are not). I think we can dismiss
this, though, as:

  1. It was like this before your patches (we might have seen multiple
     non-adjacent encoded words; you're just handling adjacent ones),
     and nobody has complained.

  2. Using two separate encodings in the same header is sufficiently
     ridiculous that I can live with us not handling it properly.

Yeah, that bugs me as well. But I think handling multiple encodings would require substantial reworking of the code, so I chickened out (with the same excuses :-)).

Would that be worth a terse comment in the documentation change part of the patch?
"Multiple  (RFC2047) encodings are not supported.",
or would that be bike shed noise.

I didn't change any documentation... and in either case, they weren't supported in the first place, so I don't think it's anything I need to mention.
