Title: Decoding adjustments

I've rebased some of my old encoding related pull requests on master. Thanks to @grosser and @jeremy some of this stuff is finally getting into mail :)

Part of this pull request are:

* some more tests based on some strange stuff we've seen that broke the mail lib
* adjusted the b_value_decode to return the original string instead of some part of it (str is overwritten by the match).
* Japanese users love to use emoji which are sometimes non-defined UTF-8 characters. So telling the encode method to simply skip those gives us at least a decoded string without the characters that can't be displayed anyway. Better than the encoded version.

Please consider merging this, we've been using those since quite a while and I'd really appreciate it if I could get rid of my patch branch. Thanks!
