+.SH ABSTRACT
+.IX Header "ABSTRACT"
+This module implements RFC 2047 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2047> MIME
+encoding for an unstructured field body of the email header. It can also be
+used for RFC 822 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822> 'text' token. However,
+it cannot be used directly for the whole header with the field name or for the
+structured header fields like From, To, Cc, Message-Id, etc... There are 3
+encoding names supported by this module: \f(CW\*(C`MIME\-Header\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`MIME\-B\*(C'\fR and
+\&\f(CW\*(C`MIME\-Q\*(C'\fR.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+Decode method takes an unstructured field body of the email header (or
+RFC 822 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822> 'text' token) as its input and
+decodes each MIME encoded-word from input string to a sequence of bytes
+according to RFC 2047 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2047> and
+RFC 2231 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2231>. Subsequently, each sequence
+of bytes with the corresponding MIME charset is decoded with
+the Encode module and finally, one output string is returned. Text
+parts of the input string which do not contain MIME encoded-word stay
+unmodified in the output string. Folded newlines between two consecutive MIME
+encoded-words are discarded, others are preserved in the output string.
+\&\f(CW\*(C`MIME\-B\*(C'\fR can decode Base64 variant, \f(CW\*(C`MIME\-Q\*(C'\fR can decode Quoted-Printable
+variant and \f(CW\*(C`MIME\-Header\*(C'\fR can decode both of them. If Encode module
+does not support particular MIME charset or chosen variant then an action based
+on CHECK flags is performed (by default, the
+MIME encoded-word is not decoded).
+.PP
+Encode method takes a scalar string as its input and uses
+strict UTF\-8 encoder for encoding it to UTF\-8
+bytes. Then a sequence of UTF\-8 bytes is encoded into MIME encoded-words
+(\f(CW\*(C`MIME\-Header\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`MIME\-B\*(C'\fR use a Base64 variant while \f(CW\*(C`MIME\-Q\*(C'\fR uses a
+Quoted-Printable variant) where each MIME encoded-word is limited to 75
+characters. MIME encoded-words are separated by \f(CW\*(C`CRLF SPACE\*(C'\fR and joined to
+one output string. Output string is suitable for unstructured field body of
+the email header.
+.PP
+Both encode and decode methods propagate
+CHECK flags when encoding and decoding the
+MIME charset.
+.SH BUGS
+.IX Header "BUGS"
+Versions prior to 2.22 (part of Encode 2.83) have a malfunctioning decoder
+and encoder. The MIME encoder infamously inserted additional spaces or
+discarded white spaces between consecutive MIME encoded-words, which led to
+invalid MIME headers produced by this module. The MIME decoder had a tendency
+to discard white spaces, incorrectly interpret data or attempt to decode Base64
+MIME encoded-words as Quoted-Printable. These problems were fixed in version
+2.22. It is highly recommended not to use any version prior 2.22!
+.PP
+Versions prior to 2.24 (part of Encode 2.87) ignored
+CHECK flags. The MIME encoder used
+not strict utf8 encoder for input Unicode
+strings which could lead to invalid UTF\-8 sequences. MIME decoder used also
+not strict utf8 decoder and additionally
+called the decode method with a \f(CW\*(C`Encode::FB_PERLQQ\*(C'\fR flag (thus user-specified
+CHECK flags were ignored). Moreover, it
+automatically croaked when a MIME encoded-word contained unknown encoding.
+Since version 2.24, this module uses
+strict UTF\-8 encoder and decoder. And
+CHECK flags are correctly propagated.
+.PP
+Since version 2.22 (part of Encode 2.83), the MIME encoder should be fully
+compliant to RFC 2047 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2047> and
+RFC 2231 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2231>. Due to the aforementioned
+bugs in previous versions of the MIME encoder, there is a \fIless strict\fR
+compatible mode for the MIME decoder which is used by default. It should be
+able to decode MIME encoded-words encoded by pre 2.22 versions of this module.
+However, note that this is not correct according to
+RFC 2047 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2047>.
+.PP
+In default \fInot strict\fR mode the MIME decoder attempts to decode every substring
+which looks like a MIME encoded-word. Therefore, the MIME encoded-words do not
+need to be separated by white space. To enforce a correct \fIstrict\fR mode, set
+variable \f(CW$Encode::MIME::Header::STRICT_DECODE\fR to 1 e.g. by localizing:
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\& use Encode::MIME::Header;
+\& local $Encode::MIME::Header::STRICT_DECODE = 1;
