I haven't looked at everything in detail, but it looks good at first
sight.

One comment: I'd make the two regular expression variables constants
and I'd replace the expression

  (string+ *decoded-line-regexp* "(" *crlfsp* *decoded-line-regexp* ")*")

with

  #.(string+ +decoded-line-regexp+ "(" +crlfsp+ +decoded-line-regexp+ ")*")

(You'll have to wrap the definition of STRING+ with EVAL-WHEN if you
want to keep everything in one file.)

As I said in a previous reply, even Mozilla (which I think is one of
the more standards-compliant browsers) doesn't seem to use RFC 2047,
so it probably doesn't make much sense to make this an integral part
of Hunchentoot (not to mention that it's easy to add if you need it),
but I'll add a link to the website (and to Drakma's as well).

Thanks,
Edi.
