[issue1079] decode_header does not follow RFC 2047

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

I've applied this to 3.3.  Because the preservation of spaces around the ascii parts is a visible behavior change that could cause working programs to break, I don't think I can backport it.  I'm going to leave this open until I can consult with Barry to see if he thinks a backport is justified.  Anyone else can feel free to chime in with an opinion as well :)
