Quoted Printable MIME

I am looking for help.
I have been using the base64 routines to decode MIME attachments within
email and it has been working fine.
I am now getting people that use Netscape email and have set their
configuration to "MIME quoted printable".
The contents of the messages looks fairly ascii-like except that it
sometimes has encoding of the form =xx where the xx are two hex printable
characters. The data also seems to use "=" padding characters near the end
of lines. I believe that the three characters are suppose to be replaced by
the single character with the value of xx.
For example, "ABC=3CDEF" should, I believe, be converted to "ABC<DEF"
Are there any library routines that will decode this? If so, where and how
can I get a copy.
TIA
