Quoted-printable encoding

Quoted-printable encoding (somtimes QP) involves using US-ASCII 7-bits encoding (non-accented letters) to encode a text that requires an alphabet of 8-bit characters (accented letters), such as ISO-Latin-1, which is used for most Western European languages.

Concept of quoted-printable encoding

With quoted-printable encoding, the standard characters, which in ASCII code run from 33 to 127 (except for the equal sign, which is code 61), are encoded using the 7-bit US-ASCII code.

8-bit special or accented characters (�, �, �, �, �, etc.) are encoded using the equal sign, followed by two hexadecimal digits. Below is the quoted-printable encoding for common special characters:

Character	QP encoding
Space	_
"	=22
#	=23
%	=25
&	=26
(	=28
)	=29
,	=2C
.	=2E
/	/
:	=3A
;	=3B
<	=3C
=	=3D
>	=3E
?	=3F
@	=40
[	=5B
\	=5C
]	=5D
^	=5E
'	=27
{	=7B
\|	=7C
}	=7D
~	=7E

With quoted-printable encoding, text must be divided so that no line contains more than 76 characters.
