This will return a suitably decoded Unicode string whn the value is a tuple, or the original string unquoted if it isn't. For example:: rawparam = msg.get_param('foo') - param = email.Utils.collapse_rfc2231_value(rawparam) + param = email.utils.collapse_rfc2231_value(rawparam) In any case, the parameter value (either the returned string, or the ``VALUE`` item in the 3-tuple) is always unquoted, unless *unquote* is set
