Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.iconv-mime-decode
---

Function iconv_mime_decode can't decode header with non-ascii characters, if 
charset differs from ISO-8859-1.

For example iconv_mime_decode can't decode string
"Subject: =?utf-8?Q?=D0=9F=D1=80=D0=B8=D0=B2=D0=B5=D1=82,=20=D0=9C=D0=B5?=
 =?utf-8?Q?=D0=B4=D0=B2=D0=B5=D0=B4!=20(Hello,=20Bear!)?="

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$plan = array(
    // It's erroneous way to encode non-ascii text with ISO-8859-1, but 
    // in this case the encode and the decode are inverse functions
    // i. e. $a == decode(encode($a))
    array(
        'description'    => "Non-ASCII characters, ISO-8859-1 to ISO-8859-1 conversion",
        'subject'        => "Привет, Медведь! (Hello, Bear!)", 
        'prefs'          => array(
            'input-charset'  => 'iso-8859-1',
            'output-charset' => 'iso-8859-1',
        )
    ),
    // unfortunately fails
    array(
        'description'    => "Non-ASCII characters and UTF-8",
        'subject'        => "Привет, Медвед! (Hello, Bear!)",
        'prefs'          => array(
            'input-charset'  => 'utf-8',
            'output-charset' => 'utf-8',
        )
    ),
    array(
        'description'    => "Only ASCII characters and UTF-8",
        'subject'        => "Hello, Bear!",
        'prefs'          => array(
            'input-charset'  => 'utf-8',
            'output-charset' => 'utf-8',
        )
    ),
    array(
        'description'    => "Only ASCII characters and Windows-1251 charset",
        'subject'        => "Hello, Bear!",
        'prefs'          => array(
            'input-charset'  => 'utf-8',
            'output-charset' => 'windows-1251',
        )
    ),
    array(
        'description'    => "Non-ASCII characters and Windows-1251 charset",
        'subject'        => "Привет, Медведь! (Hello, Bear!)",
        'prefs'          => array(
            'input-charset'  => 'utf-8',
            'output-charset' => 'windows-1251',
        )
    )
);

foreach ($plan as $case) {
    
    printf("\n\nStart: %s\n%s\n", $case['description'], str_repeat("=", 80));
    
    $prefs = $case['prefs'];
    $prefs['scheme'] = 'Q';

    $subject_encoded = iconv_mime_encode('Subject', $case['subject'], $prefs);
    
    printf("Encoded subject: %s\n", var_export($subject_encoded, 1));
    
    if (!$subject_encoded) {
        $status = 'FAILED due to iconv_mime_encode';
    } else {
        $status = false === iconv_mime_decode($subject_encoded) ? 'FAILED' : 'PASSED';
    }
    
    printf("[%s] %s\n", $status, $case['description']);
}

echo "\n";


Expected result:
----------------
All tests should pass.

With the php.ini option iconv.internal_encoding=utf-8 it works properly.
