qprint is a program that encodes and decodes binary data in | |
the Quoted-Printable encoding, defined as a part of the MIME | |
specification in RFC 1521. This encoding allows for efficient | |
transfer of mostly ASCII data over transports that are only | |
7-bit clean, like SMTP without 8BITMIME or BINARYMIME | |
extensions. It also allows the transfer of long lines of text | |
by wrapping them every 76 characters. | |
Usually, a sophisticated MUA will take care of automatically | |
choosing the best encodings for an e-mail. Nevertheless, this | |
utility may be useful when a MTA (e.g. msmtp) is used without | |
a MUA, or if using this encoding for other purposes is | |
desired. | |
