    # RFC2822 requires all email lines to end in CRLF. The Quoted-Printable
    # RFC requires CRLF to not be encoded, when representing newlins.  We will
    # assume, in this code, that QP is being used for plain text and not binary
    # data.  This may, someday, be wrong -- but if you are using QP to encode
    # binary data, you are already doing something bizarre.
    #
    # The only way to achieve this with MIME::QuotedPrint is to replace all
    # CRLFs with just LF and then let MIME::QuotedPrint replace all LFs with
    # CRLF. Otherwise MIME::QuotedPrint (by default) encodes CR as =0D, which
    # is against RFCs and breaks MUAs (such as Thunderbird).
    #
    # We don't modify data before Base64 encoding it because that is usually
    # binary data and modifying it at all is a bad idea. We do however specify
    # that the encoder should end lines with CRLF (since that's the email
    # standard).

=head1 NAME

Email::MIME::Encodings - A unified interface to MIME encoding and decoding

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Email::MIME::Encodings;
  my $encoded = Email::MIME::Encodings::encode(base64 => $body);
  my $decoded = Email::MIME::Encodings::decode(base64 => $encoded);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module simply wraps C<MIME::Base64> and C<MIME::QuotedPrint>
so that you can throw the contents of a C<Content-Transfer-Encoding>
header at some text and have the right thing happen.

=head1 PERL EMAIL PROJECT

This module is maintained by the Perl Email Project.
