# Mail::Message::TransferEnc::EightBit - phpMan

## NAME
    [Mail::Message::TransferEnc::EightBit] - encode/decode 8bit message bodies

## INHERITANCE
     [Mail::Message::TransferEnc::EightBit]
       is a [Mail::Message::TransferEnc]
       is a [Mail::Reporter]

## SYNOPSIS
     my [Mail::Message] $msg = ...;
     my $decoded = $msg->decoded;
     my $encoded = $msg->encode(transfer => '8bit');

## DESCRIPTION
    Encode or decode message bodies for 8bit transfer encoding. This is only
    very little encoding. According to the specs:

    RFC-2045 Section 2.8 defines legal `8bit' data:

     "8bit data" refers to data that is all represented as relatively
     short lines with 998 octets or less between CRLF line separation
     sequences [RFC-821]), but octets with decimal values greater than 127
     may be used.  As with "7bit data" CR and LF octets only occur as part
     of CRLF line separation sequences and no NULs are allowed.

    As you can safely conclude: decoding of these bodies is no work at all.

## DIAGNOSTICS
    Error: Decoder for transfer encoding $type does not work: $@
        Compiling the required transfer encoding resulted in errors, which
        means that the decoder can not be used.

    Warning: No decoder for transfer encoding $type.
        A decoder for the specified type of transfer encoding is not
        implemented.

    Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
        Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does
        not implement this method where it should. This message means that
        some other related classes do implement this method however the
        class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and
        probably inform the author of the package.
