Description

See RFC 2047 section 6.2. (Display of 'encoded-word's):

"When displaying a particular header field that contains multiple 'encoded-word's, any 'linear-white-space' that separates a pair of adjacent 'encoded-word's is ignored."

For example after unfolding MIME4J currently decodes the header field ..
Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?B?SWYgeW91IGNhbiByZWFkIHRoaXMgeW8=?=
=?ISO-8859-2?B?dSB1bmRlcnN0YW5kIHRoZSBleGFtcGxlLg==?=
.. into "Subject: If you can read this yo u understand the example."

Notice the space character in "yo u" that should not be there..
