You mus encode 8-bit chars to 7-bit form. Base64 encoding cover all needings, but encoded result is allways bigger then original (4/3 of original size) and mail is not readable in RAW form. Quoted-printable is good alternative, because it encoding only high- bit chars, 7-bit chars left unchanged. Think about it... Quoted-printable is not good for binary content (even it may be used in this case too!) or for langiages, where is lot of 8-bit bytes. (chinese, etc.) Base64 is good for binary content, but for languages, where are small count of 8-bit bytes it is not good, even base64 can be used in all cases too. So, mail agents will select encoding what is best for encoded content. -- Lukas Gebauer.
