Use qprint to encode and decode quoted-printable mail

Less and less used? Come on, it's the only decent way of writing 8bit characters in email. And yes, people still use it, because not everybody writes in English, and even though most (american) software developers don't know it, French and German use 8bit characters like é or ü.

One of the decent ways, I would say. When using rich text, no matter it is 8bit or not, some e-mail program encode it using MIME attachment. Some send 8bit characters without encoding them -- of course they might be truncated on the way.
