           Summary: UTF-8 chars encoded in From: header
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail

Gmail not displaying text outside the UTF-8 block

My name is José María Mateos. That name is encoded in the From: header of mails
sent using Claws-mail as:

From: =?UTF-8?B?Sm9zw6kgTWFyw61h?= Mateos <chema at rinzewind.org>

My surname is not included in the UTF-8 block. Gmail displays these e-mails as
shown on the attached screenshot: the surname is missing.

If I change my name to Jose María Mateos (just the middle word containing UTF-8
chars), it works fine. It also works fine if I enclose my name (written
corretly) in quotes.

I'm filling this bug with claws-mail because I don't know if this is the
standard way of encoding headers or if the whole name should be placed inside
the UTF-8 block. If this is not a bug, I'll file it with the Google people.
