   Log Message:   
   Strip ctrl chars "B" mime-encoded words in incoming message header fields   
      
   Per RFC2047: "Only printable and white space character data should be encoded   
   using this scheme."   
      
   Apparently TikTok doesn't follow that advice. Here's one example:   
      
   68%  #614159 (1741720) TikTok                    Header field contains control   
   characters   
   ...   
   Subject          6C 69 76 6B 61 70 73 7A 6F 6F 20 70 6F 73 74 65 64 3A 20 4D 75   
   66 66 69 6E 20 73 61 69 64 20 0A 4E 6F 20 74 68 61 6E 6B 73 F0 9F AB A0   
      
   Which expands to:   
      
   "livkapszoo posted: Muffin said   
   No thanks🫠"   
      
   This could do weird things when the message is viewed (depending on the viewer)   
   and triggers the chksmb error: Control Characters in Header Fields (!): 1
