As explained by Jeffrey Stedfast, the author of GMime, quoted in [1]:
> Passing the GMIME_ENABLE_RFC2047_WORKAROUNDS flag to g_mime_init()
> *should* solve the decoding problem mentioned in the thread. This
> flag should be safe to pass into g_mime_init() without any bad side
> effects and my unit tests do test that code-path.
