25 ;;; UTF-7 - A Mail-Safe Transformation Format of Unicode - RFC 2152
26 ;;; This is a transformation format of Unicode that contains only 7-bit
27 ;;; ASCII octets and is intended to be readable by humans in the limiting
28 ;;; case that the document consists of characters from the US-ASCII
30 ;;; In short, runs of characters outside US-ASCII are encoded as base64
31 ;;; inside delimiters.
32 ;;; A variation of UTF-7 is specified in IMAP 4rev1 (RFC 2060) as the way
33 ;;; to represent characters outside US-ASCII in mailbox names in IMAP.
34 ;;; This library supports both variants, but the IMAP variation was the
35 ;;; reason I wrote it.
36 ;;; The routines convert UTF-7 -> UTF-16 (16 bit encoding of Unicode)
37 ;;; -> current character set, and vice versa.
38 ;;; However, until Emacs supports Unicode, the only Emacs character set
39 ;;; supported here is ISO-8859.1, which can trivially be converted to/from
41 ;;; When decoding results in a character outside the Emacs character set,
42 ;;; an error is thrown. It is up to the application to recover.
