MIME and Quoted-printable

关于MIME的介绍，from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME

Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) is an Internet Standard that extends the format of e-mail to support:

• text in character sets other than US-ASCII;
• non-text attachments;
• multi-part message bodies; and
• header information in non-ASCII character sets.

Virtually all human-written Internet e-mail and a fairly large proportion of automated e-mail is transmitted via SMTP in MIME format. Internet e-mail is so closely associated with the SMTP and MIME standards that it is sometimes called SMTP/MIME e-mail.[1]

The content types defined by MIME standards are also of importance outside of e-mail, such as in communication protocols like HTTP for the World Wide Web. HTTP requires that data be transmitted in the context of e-mail-like messages, even though the data may not actually be e-mail.

MIME is specified in six RFCs: RFC 2045, RFC 2046, RFC 2047, RFC 4288, RFC 4289 and RFC 2077.

关于Quoted-printable的介绍，from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoted-printable

Quoted-printable, or QP encoding, is an encoding using printable characters (i.e. alphanumeric and the equals sign "=") to transmit 8-bit data over a 7-bit data path. It is defined as a MIME content transfer encoding for use in Internet e-mail.
