1 | This package contains a base64 encoder/decoder and a quoted-printable |
2 | encoder/decoder. These encoding methods are specified in RFC 2045 - |
3 | MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions). |
4 | |
5 | The base64 encoding is designed to represent arbitrary sequences of |
6 | octets in a form that need not be humanly readable. A 65-character |
7 | subset ([A-Za-z0-9+/=]) of US-ASCII is used, enabling 6 bits to be |
8 | represented per printable character. |
9 | |
10 | The quoted-printable encoding is intended to represent data that |
11 | largely consists of bytes that correspond to printable characters in |
12 | the ASCII character set. Each non-printable character is represented by |
13 | a triplet consisting of the character "=" followed by two hexadecimal |
14 | digits. |
15 | |

17 | 5.6 or better. Installation as usual: |
