/**
 * <p>
 * Codec for the Quoted-Printable section of <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1521.txt">RFC 1521 .
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The Quoted-Printable encoding is intended to represent data that largely consists of octets that correspond to
 * printable characters in the ASCII character set. It encodes the data in such a way that the resulting octets are
 * unlikely to be modified by mail transport. If the data being encoded are mostly ASCII text, the encoded form of the
 * data remains largely recognizable by humans. A body which is entirely ASCII may also be encoded in Quoted-Printable
 * to ensure the integrity of the data should the message pass through a character- translating, and/or line-wrapping
 * gateway.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Note:
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Rules #3, #4, and #5 of the quoted-printable spec are not implemented yet because the complete quoted-printable spec
 * does not lend itself well into the byte[] oriented codec framework. Complete the codec once the steamable codec
 * framework is ready. The motivation behind providing the codec in a partial form is that it can already come in handy
 * for those applications that do not require quoted-printable line formatting (rules #3, #4, #5), for instance Q codec.
 * </p>
 * 
 * @see <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1521.txt"> RFC 1521 MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) Part One:
