On the contrary, quoted printable was designed to be displayable by really old software and transmittable over really old networks, software and networks unable to handle 8-bit character codes (i.e., using only 7 bits per character). 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. So you were wrong about the implicit contention that quoted printable is anything modern (it isn't, it's for really old stuff, archaic stuff), and you were wrong newsreaders that don't handle it well being old (the latest version of Thunderbird is not very old). However, that ungood treatment of this archaic 7-bit format in one of the few surviving newsreaders (Thunderbird) is just one example of how quoted printable really really sucks. Cheers & hth., - Alf
