Not quite. Without further arguments to encode_qp() it splits up long lines with "=\n" in between. I haven't noticed any "=\n" at the end of the encoded string, though.

You said that yourself ... without further arguments ...

I have made a similar experience, and my "hack" is even more complicated:

$encoded = join "\n ",
map { tr/ /_/; "=?ISO-8859-15?Q?$_?=" }
split /\s*=\n\s*/, $encoded;

When sending a long subject header via a sendmail pipe, that code makes at least my email client (Thunderbird) happy...

so I do not understand why don't you use

"=?ISO-8859-15?Q?" . encode_qp($raw_data, "") . "?=";

Actually I have done that, too. But I fear that very long subject lines might mess up the message, so making use of the "=\n" that MIME::QuotedPrint generates seems like a good idea.

Maybe I'm wrong...
