 If the encoding is `qp-or-base64', then either quoted-printable
 or base64 will be used, depending on what is more efficient.
 
-`qp-or-base64' has another effect.  It will fold long lines so that
-MIME parts may not be broken by MTA.  So do `quoted-printable' and
-`base64'.

-Note: It affects body encoding only when a part is a raw forwarded
-message (which will be made by `gnus-summary-mail-forward' with the
-arg 2 for example) or is neither the text/* type nor the message/*
-type.  Even though in those cases, you can use the `encoding' MML tag
-to specify encoding of non-ASCII MIME parts."
