3.2.7. Inline Encoding
Parameter Name: ENCODING
Purpose: To specify an alternate inline encoding for the property
value.
Format Definition: This property parameter is defined by the
following notation:
encodingparam = "ENCODING" "="
( "8BIT"
; "8bit" text encoding is defined in [RFC2045]
/ "BASE64"
; "BASE64" binary encoding format is defined in [RFC4648]
)
Description: This property parameter identifies the inline encoding
used in a property value. The default encoding is "8BIT",
corresponding to a property value consisting of text. The
"BASE64" encoding type corresponds to a property value encoded
using the "BASE64" encoding defined in [RFC2045].
If the value type parameter is ";VALUE=BINARY", then the inline
encoding parameter MUST be specified with the value
";ENCODING=BASE64".
Example:
ATTACH;FMTTYPE=text/plain;ENCODING=BASE64;VALUE=BINARY:TG9yZW
