Crash from bad encoded-word decoding
Status: Beta

RFC2047 specifies how MIME encoded-words in headers
should be detected and decoded. trn (as of 4.0-test76)
does not follow this specification, and gets confused
trying to detect such an encoded-word crossing a line
boundary, so causing a crash. Example article:
Subject: Not MIME (may crash trn4)

The From header should not be interpreted as including
an RFC 2047 encoded-word. trn4 is broken here.
