You are wrong, since it will just work if the encoding of the characters is also used in the current context.
There is a reason why it comes with the charset :)
There are way better solutions with imap_mime_header_decode

Here is a clean way to decode encoded imap headers that will work in all cases :
function fix_text($str)
{
$subject = '';
$subject_array = imap_mime_header_decode($str);
foreach ($subject_array AS $obj)
$subject .= rtrim($obj->text, "\t");
return $subject;
}
