Encode Filter

The Encode Filter is used to convert all 8-bit text in the body of the email message to 7-bit quoted-printable text. This will allow users to receive email with 8-bit extended characters. The encode filter strips the 8-bit characters off and converts them to 7-bit quoted-printable. The user's client then takes the 7-bit quoted-printable format and displays the 8-bit character equivalent which can be read in the email.
