Thank you. I read the BNF for TEXT many times but I've always overlooked
the accompanying text. The RFC 2047 mechanism is truly horrible but I
guess it satisfies the requirements.

What is an accurate BNF grammar for TEXT? It is not clear to me how I am
supposed to parse a quoted-string that contains "=?" but which is not a
valid encoded-word.

Thanks again,
Brian
