Description:
------------
When using the imap_headerinfo on an email with an utf8 encoded from header (for example =?utf-8?q?D=C3=A9tection_de_spam_=3Cnoreply=401and1=2Efr=3E?), the returned variable does not have any from field. The from information is however available if imap_rfc822_parse_headers(imap_fetchheader()) is used.



Test script:
---------------
var_dump(imap_headerinfo($this->mbox, $mid));
var_dump(imap_fetchheader($this->mbox, $mid));
var_dump(imap_rfc822_parse_headers(imap_fetchheader($this->mbox, $mid)));

Expected result:
----------------

I'm not able to reproduce this issue with "recent" versions of
libc-client (2007e and 2007f). Which version do you use (see PHP
info)? Which OS are you running?

I can basically reproduce this.  The problem is the already broken
From header:

    =?utf-8?q?D=C3=A9tection_de_spam_=3Cnoreply=401and1=2Efr=3E?=@UNKNOWN

The @UNKNOW has apparently been added by an MTA; the actual domain
should have been @1and1.fr.  Anyhow, this From header causes the
libc-client function mail_fetchenvelope() to misbehave, while
mail_fetchheader_full() and a following rfc822_parse_msg() yield
the desired results.

So this is not a bug in PHP's IMAP extension, but rather a fail
of libc-client to properly process erroneously composed or transmitted
email addresses.
