26 ;; UTF-7 - A Mail-Safe Transformation Format of Unicode - RFC 2152
27 ;; This is a transformation format of Unicode that contains only 7-bit
28 ;; ASCII octets and is intended to be readable by humans in the limiting
29 ;; case that the document consists of characters from the US-ASCII
30 ;; repertoire.
31 ;; In short, runs of characters outside US-ASCII are encoded as base64
32 ;; inside delimiters.
33 ;; A variation of UTF-7 is specified in IMAP 4rev1 (RFC 2060) as the way
34 ;; to represent characters outside US-ASCII in mailbox names in IMAP.
35 ;; This library supports both variants, but the IMAP variation was the
36 ;; reason I wrote it.
37 ;; The routines convert UTF-7 -> UTF-16 (16 bit encoding of Unicode)
38 ;; -> current character set, and vice versa.
39 ;; However, until Emacs supports Unicode, the only Emacs character set
40 ;; supported here is ISO-8859.1, which can trivially be converted to/from
41 ;; Unicode.
42 ;; When decoding results in a character outside the Emacs character set,
43 ;; an error is thrown. It is up to the application to recover.
45 ;; UTF-7 should be done by providing a coding system. Mule-UCS does
46 ;; already, but I don't know if it does the IMAP version and it's not
47 ;; clear whether that should really be a coding system. The UTF-16
48 ;; part of the conversion can be done with coding systems available
49 ;; with Mule-UCS or some versions of Emacs. Unfortunately these were
50 ;; done wrongly (regarding handling of byte-order marks and how the
51 ;; variants were named), so we don't have a consistent name for the
52 ;; necessary coding system. The code below doesn't seem to DTRT
53 ;; generally. E.g.:
55 ;; (utf7-encode "a+£")
56 ;; => "a+ACsAow-"
58 ;; $ echo "a+£"|iconv -f utf-8 -t utf-7
59 ;; a+-+AKM
61 ;; -- fx
