[issue1079] decode_header does not follow RFC 2047

[R. David Murray]

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

Ralf, thanks very much for this patch.  I'm considering applying it.  Given that the current code breaks on parsing various legitimate constructs, it seems like the behavior change (preserving whitespace in the non-EW parts...which IMO is correct) should be an acceptable tradeoff.

Could you please submit a contributor agreement?  (http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/)
