NAME
    Mail::Message::TransferEnc::QuotedPrint - handle quoted-printable message bodies

INHERITANCE
     Mail::Message::TransferEnc::QuotedPrint
       is a Mail::Message::TransferEnc
       is a Mail::Reporter

SYNOPSIS
     my Mail::Message $msg = ...;
     my $decoded = $msg->decoded;
     my $encoded = $msg->encode(transfer => 'quoted-printable');

DESCRIPTION
    Encode and decode message bodies for quoted-printable transfer encoding. The Quoted-Printable
    encoding is intended to represent data that largely consists of bytes that correspond to
    printable characters in the ASCII character set. Non-printable characters (as defined by English
    Americans) are represented by a triplet consisting of the character "=" followed by two
    hexadecimal digits.

    $obj->decode($body, %options)
        Decoding is tricky, and not without loss of information. Lines will stay separate lines,
        although they might have been joined before the encoding split them up. Characters which are
        not printable will be replaced by their octal value, and carriage returns ('=0D') at end of
        line are removed.

    $obj->encode($body, %options)
        Encoding is to quoted-printable is a careful process: All characters outside the normal
        printing range, and including '=' are encoded. They are translated into a '=' followed by a
        two digit hex of the ascii value of the character. The same treatment is for white-spaces at
        the end of a line.

        The lines which are constructed which must be 76 characters max, not broken on encoded
        characters.

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.
