- This MIMEQP decoder/encoder is freeware by Karl Hahn hahn@lds.loral.com
- Distribute freely, but please remove my name and address from modified
- versions. Source code is included.
-
- MIMEQP encodes files that are mostly ASCII but contain some nonASCII
- characters so that the encoded file is all ASCII. The characters that
- were ASCII remain so, so that the encoded file is human-readable.
- MIMQP encoding also limits line lengths to 72 characters. It is
- useful for sending files that may contain nonASCII through mail servers.
- MIMEQP (or MIME Quoted-Printable) is defined in RFC 1341.
-
-
- Encoding replaces all control characters except \n and \t,
- all ='s, and all characters whose ASCII code is greater than 127
- with =XX where XX is the hex value of the ASCII.
-
- Decoding (which is the default) does the opposite.
-
- Program Usage:
-
- mimeqp infile [outfile] [-option]
- -e encode (default is decode)
- if no output file given, output replaces input
