About Quoted-Printable
Quoted-Printable (RFC 2045) encodes non-ASCII and special bytes as =XX where XX is the uppercase hex value. Printable ASCII characters (33-126 except =) pass through unchanged. Lines are wrapped at 76 characters using soft line breaks (= at end of line). It is commonly used in email (MIME) for encoding text with accents or special characters.

Frequently asked questions
- When is Quoted-Printable used?
- It is common in email (MIME) when content is mostly ASCII but contains a few special characters that must be escaped.
- What does =20 or =3D mean?
- Those are escaped bytes — =20 is a space and =3D is an equals sign; decoding restores the original characters.
