+ * from charset specified in RFC 2231/2047 encoding, UTF-8,

+ * <p>
+ * Note that a lot of MUAs put RFC 2047-encoded parameters. Unfortunately,
+ * this includes Mozilla as of 2003-05-30. Even more standard-ignorant MUAs,

+ * try to cope with all these cases as gracefully as possible. Additionally,
+ * it returns the language tag if the parameter is encoded per RFC 2231 and
+ * includes lang.
