Questions

What input does Quoted Printable Encoder accept?

Quoted Printable Encoder accepts binary data or a selected file.

Does Quoted Printable Encoder need extra settings?

Quoted Printable Encoder does not define extra operation settings. It uses its built-in behavior with the supplied input.

What does Quoted Printable Encoder return?

Quoted Printable Encoder returns text. Quoted-Printable, or QP encoding, is an encoding using printable ASCII characters (alphanumeric and the equals sign '=') to transmit 8-bit data over a 7-bit data path or, generally, over a medium which is not 8-bit clean. It is defined as a MIME content transfer encoding for use in email. QP works by using the equals sign '=' as an escape character. It also limits line length to 76, as some software has limits on line length.
