As near as I can tell the task is to decode the message body in two
steps: first to decode according to the character encoding
(e.g. quoted-printable or base64) and then to decode that result to
some coding system.
That is correct.
Something along the lines of:
(let (body)
(setq body (apply qp or base64 to body of message)
You call `mail-unquote-printable-region' or `base64-decode-region'.
They operate on the buffer.
(decode-coding-string body (detect-coding-string body t))
Use `decode-coding-region'. It operates on the buffer.
When operating on large amount of text, don't do it in strings.
