Well, base64 is obviously a lot less legible for the case of latin text. :)

Quoted-printable is also easier to debug even for non-Latin text as the
individual bytes can be seen, whereas base64 squishes a bitstream together.

I have no idea whether base64 is actually more compatible or not than
quoted-printable.

This patch also adds two code paths and output formats: one path taken when
iconv_mime_encode() is available -- where long output will be split over lines
-- and one when it's not, where long output is not split.

Are there any compatibility issues with long unwrapped lines of base64 stuff?
Any differences in behavior to be expected between the two?
