I'm stepping through the code and there's a piece of code I don't understand in QuotedPrintableEncode. It starts at line 1123 in the most recent version. There's a case statment:

case 46:
case 70:
case 102:
$en=(!$h && ($l==0 || $l+1>75));
break;

It appears from the code that this decides there can be a line break here but it appears that the characters picked for the line break are . (46), F (70) and f (102). I'm not sure why F and f are special. Thanks.

That is because mail folder files in mbox format start with a line with pseudo header "From". If you have a line with that header in the middle of you messages it may confuse programs that handle mbox mail files.
