Thank you.

In the case of that particular message, the encoded headers are ones that
I'd almost never want to search for anyway.

But today I sent myself a message using an IMAP-based app on my phone,
resulting in the appended, and I'd definitely want to decode the Subject:
header.

Unfortunately, running it through mhfixmsg results in the message coming
back unchanged.  Is that specifically about -decodeheaderfieldbodies, or
is mhfixmsg doing nothing because the message body is already unencoded
text/plain?
