I use this command in a bash script:
cat |grep Subject:|sed 's/Subject: //g'>$OUTFILE
The script is invoked by procmail. The $OUTFILE consists of something
like that:
=?utf-8?B?0YLQtdC80LAg0L/QuNGB0YzQvNCw?=
I would like the information in it to be readable.
$OUTFILE encoding is 7bit ASCII characters. Converting it to different
encoding using iconv does not make any difference. If subject encoding
is right, how can I recode it to something different?
TIA
You can use "reformime" from maildrop package (present in Fedora):
reformime -c UTF-8 -h "header"
reformime -c UTF-8 -h "$(grep -i '^Subject:' MailFile)" # Header keys
are case-insensitive, thus "-i"
