Is there a way to decode q-encoded strings in Ruby?

Question

I\'m working with mails, and names and subjects sometimes come q-encoded, like this:

=?UTF-8?Q?J=2E_Pablo_Fern=C3=A1ndez?=

Is there a way t

Answer 1

The most efficient and up to date solution it seems to use the value_decode method of the Mail gem.

> Mail::Encodings.value_decode("=?UTF-8?Q?Greg_of_Google?=")
=> "Greg of Google"
