45 `qp-or-base64' has another effect. It will fold long lines so that
46 MIME parts may not be broken by MTA. So do `quoted-printable' and
47 `base64'.
49 Note: It affects body encoding only when a part is a raw forwarded
50 message (which will be made by `gnus-summary-mail-forward' with the
51 arg 2 for example) or is neither the text/* type nor the message/*
