Re: Questions about 1522 encoding scheme

[John Gardiner Myers <jgm+@xxxxxxx>]

You have to encode the words in some way such that when the encoded
words are decoded, the produce the desired result.  I would think this
would go without saying.

That is in fact the result.

If you want "Keith Moore", you have a large number of options:

	=?US-ASCII?Q?Keith_Moore?=

	=?US-ASCII?Q?Keith?= Moore

	=?US-ASCII?Q?Keith?=     =?US-ASCII?Q?_Moore?=

are three of them.
