Package: metamail
Version: 2.7-54
Severity: minor

I'm using metamail -w to save parts of an email message.
A filename is provided that uses no special characters, but it is
nevertheless encoded, so that metamail offers this as the default
file:

    =?ISO-8859-1?B?RE9DMDgwOTA5LnBkZg==?=

Metamail should do the base64 decoding or whatever it is and offer a
more reasonable default filename.  I'm happy for it to stick with
7-bit ASCII plus question marks even; anything's better than the
above.
