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.
