it doesn't need QP to allow sending through 7bit channels. QP could
still be useful to allow long lines to be transmitted through
channels that impose a maximum line length.
Why would you need long lines in 2022-JP? Do you send a great deal of
programming code with Japanese comments at the ends of lines? Do you
send lots of long-line ASCII art, only using Kanji characters? The
only reason to use QP is to send long lines that you don't want soft
paragraph wrapped by format=flowed. Please identify some real use for
QP when you're using 2022.
