4 """Quoted-printable content transfer encoding per RFCs 2045-2047.
6 This module handles the content transfer encoding method defined in RFC 2045
7 to encode US ASCII-like 8-bit data called `quoted-printable'. It is used to
8 safely encode text that is in a character set similar to the 7-bit US ASCII
9 character set, but that includes some 8-bit characters that are normally not
10 allowed in email bodies or headers.
12 Quoted-printable is very space-inefficient for encoding binary files; use the
13 email.base64MIME module for that instead.
15 This module provides an interface to encode and decode both headers and bodies
16 with quoted-printable encoding.
18 RFC 2045 defines a method for including character set information in an
19 `encoded-word' in a header. This method is commonly used for 8-bit real names
20 in To:/From:/Cc: etc. fields, as well as Subject: lines.
22 This module does not do the line wrapping or end-of-line character
23 conversion necessary for proper internationalized headers; it only
24 does dumb encoding and decoding. To deal with the various line
25 wrapping issues, use the email.Header module.

99 Defined in RFC 2045, this `Q' encoding is similar to quoted-printable, but
