This has nothing to do with MIME, the quoted printable encoding is not  
restricted to MIME, IIRC. How would you suggest the transmission of data  
that uses more than 7-bit characters? Usenet is not and should not be  
ASCII only.

First someone complains about base64, and suggests quoted printable  
instead, and now someone says that quoted printable is unacceptable, what  
should we use instead?
