q-p is "quoted-printable", an encoding scheme for text. Encoded
q-p text is more or less readable, but it can interfere with
quick grepping of messages because it works by introducing
additional characters. For that reason, I don't use automimeproc.
(And printable ASCII characters don't need to be encoded.)
OH!! That's the standard with all the ='s. It's an invention of the devil.
Well, here's an example of where we're not doing so good.
Pretty much every OTHER mailer handles quoted-printable transparently.
It's kind of an embarassment we don't. We should fix that (that's one
of my to-do items for 1.6). In a perfect world you should be able to
send and receive messages using quoted-printable, and you wouldn't even
know it was happening.
