}
9 This module performs quoted-printable transport encoding and decoding,
10 as defined in
\rfc{1521}: ``MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
11 Part One''. The quoted-printable encoding is designed for data where
12 there are relatively few nonprintable characters; the base64 encoding
13 scheme available via the
\refmodule{base64
} module is more compact if there
14 are many such characters, as when sending a graphics file.

20 Decode the contents of the
\var{input
} file and write the resulting
21 decoded binary data to the
\var{output
} file.
22 \var{input
} and
\var{output
} must either be file objects or objects that
23 mimic the file object interface.
\var{input
} will be read until
24 \code{\var{input
}.read()
} returns an empty string.
27 \begin{funcdesc
}{encode
}{input, output, quotetabs
}
28 Encode the contents of the
\var{input
} file and write the resulting
29 quoted-printable data to the
\var{output
} file.
30 \var{input
} and
\var{output
} must either be file objects or objects that
31 mimic the file object interface.
\var{input
} will be read until
32 \code{\var{input
}.read()
} returns an empty string.
