I meant that I "encouarge people to use Base 64 instead of
Quoted-Printable". QP gets half way there. QP is readable enough
that if the recipient has a non-MIME MUA, s/he can make a good guess
as to what the sender was trying to say. But people are a whole lot
smarter than machines w/r/t such fuzzy logic.
If folks use Base 64 instead, and the mail is delivered to a
non-MIME MUA, then it's totally unreadable, which will result in
the sender re-sending with some other means (even QP, though only
as a second pass) -or- the reader complaining to local management
to GET a MIME-compliant MUA, in which case everyone wins.
Use Base 64.
