I'm acquiring the unread mails I have in my GMail account through PHP and its method imap_open
When I get the subjects through the method imap_fetch_overview I get some subjects like this:
=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Informaci=F3n_Apartamento_a_la_Venta?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?_en_Benasque(Demandas:_0442_______)?=
It's unreadable, I think because of its character encoding.
What should I do to make it readable?

ISO/IEC 8859-1 encodes what it refers to as "Latin alphabet no. 1", consisting of 191 characters from the Latin script. This character-encoding scheme is used throughout the Americas, Western Europe, Oceania, and much of Africa.
UTF-8 is a multibyte encoding that can represent any Unicode character. ISO 8859-1 is a single-byte encoding that can represent the first 256 Unicode characters. Both encode ASCII exactly the same way.
To get the string in UTF-8, do:
$or = '=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Informaci=F3n_Apartamento_a_la_Venta?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?_en_Benasque(Demandas:_0442_______)?=';
mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8');
$v = str_replace("_"," ", mb_decode_mimeheader($or));
which gives:
Información Apartamento a la Venta en Benasque(Demandas: 0442 )
You can then convert to ISO-8859-1, if you wish.
