&reftitle.description; `string` `quoted_printable_decode` `string` `string`

This function returns an 8-bit binary string corresponding to the decoded quoted printable string (according to RFC2045, section 6.7, not RFC2821, section 4.5.2, so additional periods are not stripped from the beginning of line).

This function is similar to `imap_qprint`, except this one does not require the IMAP module to work.
