Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/533

I made a full backup of my messages a few days earlier, now when I try to restore them all I get is some '=', numbers and letters
eg: =D8 =D7 =86 =C7 ... etc

I guess the problem is somewhere in the encoding of text.

=D8=A7=D9=85=2E

I think I have seen the same pattern "=D2=E7...." in the past when I tried to send a note from an android phone to a nokia symbian6 phone

it appears that every arabic letter is replaced by 6 chars, eg: ل turns into "=D9=84" which is the UNICODE of that letter

I tried to fix the error myself, but I got a million errors when I imported to eclipse and was too lazy to debug them all :(

also I'd recommend to use Android Studio if you want to work on the code.
