Also, I've occasionally had to deal with
"application/x-patch" parts and those are by default
encoded with base64; I'd rather do 7bit or 8bit.
Looking quickly, I would think that mhbuild would use 7bit
if safe:
case CT_APPLICATION:
/* For application type, use base64, except when postscript */
if (contains8bit || linelen || linespace || checksw)
ct->c_encoding = (ct->c_subtype == APPLICATION_POSTSCRIPT)
? CE_QUOTED : CE_BASE64;
else
ct->c_encoding = CE_7BIT;
Hm. I think maybe I was getting tripped up by trailing linespace (the
linespace flag). I guess technically that's not safe, although I've never
encountered a case where it wasn't. I can't find anything in the relevant
standards at first glance, though.
