However, when foo is run in a buffer containing the string "=FC",
this string will be replaced with an uppercase umlaut-U.
This is a feature: when replacing an uppercase word, replace-match
converts the replacement to uppercase. If you don't want that feature,
pass t for the second argument to replace-match.
PS In mime-encoded mails "=FC" represents a lowercase umlaut-u.
replace-match only cares that the letters are upper case.
It does not know you intend them to stand for something else.
By the way, perhaps you want to use mail-unquote-printable-region
to do this decoding.
