Summary

I have a problem importing some mail with header with unsupported cherset which block the import, I'm asking if is it possible to handle the exception thown into src/Message/Transcoder.php::decode() maybe into src/Message/Headers.php::__constructor() with try catch with safely ignore?

Here a sample how should be fixed:

final class Headers extends Parameters
{
    /**
     * Constructor.
     */
    public function __construct(\stdClass $headers)
    {
        parent::__construct();

        // Store all headers as lowercase
        $headers = \array_change_key_case((array) $headers);

        foreach ($headers as $key => $value) {
            try {
                $this[$key] = $this->parseHeader($key, $value);
            } catch (\Exception $e) {
                // safely skip header with Unsupported charset
            }
        }
    }

Current behavior

Unsupported charset "": mb_convert_encoding(): Illegal character encoding specified
imap_alerts (0):
imap_errors (0):

How to reproduce: code & error stack trace

this is a sample of EML causing the issue:
[ Header "Subject" is the bugged header ]

Expected behavior

Handle the error conversion maybe skipping the not supported header.

Is this the original header that caused the issue? If not, may you post the original one please?

Yes, I only replaced the original domain with bla.bla, Subject is original and not modified.

What the hell is X-IAS-German which doesn't exist in Google https://www.google.com/search?q=%22X-IAS-German%22 🤷

Your fix looks promising, can you open a PR with a test case along the fix please?
