Quoted-printable is part of MIME, and any decent modern mail/news reader supports MIME (including thunderbird, if my googling is correct). [In the 1980s MIME didn't exist, of course, and widespread adoption is more a late-90s thing.] You're probably correct that quoted-printable is often _unnecessary_ with modern infrastructure, but that has nothing to do with the level of support for MIME (which obviously addresses many more issues than making content 7-bit safe), and thus with the level of support for quoted-printable. Whether or not it's necessary, quoted-printable should still work fine. 7-bit links: olde thing. MIME: newish thing. > But there are people using e.g. Thunderbird as newsreader, and as of > 2012 Thunderbird treats a quoted printable paragraph as one long > single line. Quoted-printable is a _transfer encoding_, and shouldn't affect the way the article content is displayed by your newsreader.... and indeed, looking at the article you're complaining about, the problem isn't with quoted-printable at all, it's that the original article doesn't have any newlines in its paragraphs. So your anger should really be addressed at the fact that the sender's software didn't wrap lines, not that it used quoted-printable to encode those long lines. Here: as a test, I'll try to make sure my newsreader uses quoted-printable, and you can tell me if you have problems reading it or not. My lines are properly wrapped. -miles -- 「寒いね」と話しかければ「寒いね」と答える人のいるあったかさ [俵万智]
