Hello:
The RFC number escapes me right now, but I believe that the encoding
you are looking at is called "Quoted-Printable". It is fairly easy to
encode/decode, just follow these guidelines:
- Non-ASCII characters are encoded as =HH, where HH is the character
code, in hex (e.g. =20 is a space character).
- "Soft newlines" (i.e. line breaks imposed for transport but not part
of the original text) are marked by =CRLF (an equal sign at the end of
a line).
- All other newlines ("hard newlines") are kept as is.
So, a basic algorithm to decode would be:
1. Remove all equal signs at the end of a line, along with their
newlines (=CRLF).
2. Convert all =HH strings to their proper characters.
And I think that's it. This is right off the top of my head, and its
been a while since I last did this, but I'll check a bit later to
verify it. At least this should get you going for now.
