Then something is broken. Encoding of CR and LF in binary data should
be done with =0D and =0A, not using hard line breaks.

There's a bug in older versions of Exchange which means that it encodes
PDFs using QP. I think there's a work-around in MS's Knowledge Base.
Send PDFs as Base64.
I agree with your conclusion, though. Sending PDF as QP doesn't work
well in practice. Many QP encoders handle CR/LF incorrectly. Base64
should be used instead. But the reason is due to software bugs, not
an inherent limitation of QP. Just thought I'd point that out.
Yes, that's true. Thanks for the corrections.
Bye, Rich =]
