I think that was Patrik. Perhaps others too. Personally,
I avoid QP (quoted-printable) whenever possible. It seems to be best
suited to files that are "mostly text" or "mostly 7-bit clean".
If you want to send something like a GIF or an executable, or even a
spreadsheet, I would strongly recommend Base64 instead.
QP is not really useful, as the environments where I think it was
intended for, Europena languages with at large portion of the
letters in ASCII, it is still unreadable. We got a number of complaints
from our customers until people stopped sending out QP. It is
only quite occasional now that we QP messages here in my Danish
environment.
