Body and header of message are not encoded | You can encode the header and message body. (through the MIME object) |
All attachments are automatically encoded in 'Quoted Printable' format, which is a standard mode of encoding. | Attachments can be encoded using Quoted Printable, Base64, Binhex or Uuencoded by calling the MIME object directly. |
