[mimetic-users] QP::Encoder sets m_binary after first binary unmapped character

[Paul S. <ps...@sk...>]

I am using QP::Encoder to generate a quoted-printable e-mail body using data extracted from an SQL data base.

It is important that the quoted-printable be as human-readable as possible, because the e-mail messages will all be stored in a single file and distributed to people who may read the mail messages via an MUA, or as a plain text file. Not my call.

Unfortunately, QP::Encoder sets m_binary flag on the first unmapped character to permanently switch to generating QP strings. There does not appear to be any way to programmatically reset m_binary. I have removed that "feature" to obtain the desired results.

When would it ever be a good idea to permanently switch to generating QP strings?

At the very least, shouldn't this be an optional behavior?
