5"""Quoted-printable content transfer encoding per RFCs 2045-2047.
6
7This module handles the content transfer encoding method defined in RFC 2045
8to encode US ASCII-like 8-bit data called `quoted-printable'. It is used to
9safely encode text that is in a character set similar to the 7-bit US ASCII
10character set, but that includes some 8-bit characters that are normally not
11allowed in email bodies or headers.
12
13Quoted-printable is very space-inefficient for encoding binary files; use the
14email.base64MIME module for that instead.
15
16This module provides an interface to encode and decode both headers and bodies
17with quoted-printable encoding.
18
19RFC 2045 defines a method for including character set information in an
20`encoded-word' in a header. This method is commonly used for 8-bit real names
21in To:/From:/Cc: etc. fields, as well as Subject: lines.
22
23This module does not do the line wrapping or end-of-line character
24conversion necessary for proper internationalized headers; it only
25does dumb encoding and decoding. To deal with the various line
Tim Peters8ac14952002-05-23 15:15:30 +000026wrapping issues, use the email.Header module.
