mb_convert_variables
This function leaves the underscores in the string.
For example, the mime header looks like this:
$text = "=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= <keld@example.com>";
Then I decode this string like this:
<?php
mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");
$ret2 = mb_decode_mimeheader($text);
?>
The result is decoded string which looks OK except that the underscores between the first, middle and last names are still there.
Keld_Jørn_Simonsen
imap_utf8($text) does not show underscores, which is the correct way, except that on my Windows PC the imap_utf8() converts result to upper case, which is a known bug.

Using quoted-printable-encoding the hex-numbers must be written in uppercase letters!
Works: =?iso-8859-1?q?=3F=3F=3F?=
Fails: =?iso-8859-1?q?=3f=3f=3f?=
