Any data represented by 7bit integers is called @strong{7bit data}.@refill

Textual string consisted of Control characters between 0 .. 31 and 127,

Traditional Internet MTA (@ref{MTA}) can translate 7bit data, so it is

However if there are too long lines, it can not translate by 7bit MTA
even if it is 7bit data.  RFC 821 (@ref{RFC 821}) and RFC 2045 (@ref{RFC 2045}) require lines in 7bit data must be less than 998 bytes.  So if a

For example, iso-8859-1 (@ref{iso-8859-1}) or euc-kr (@ref{euc-kr}) are

Traditional Internet MTA (@ref{MTA}) can translate only 7bit
(@ref{7bit}) data, so if a 8bit data will be translated such MTA, it
must be encoded by Quoted-Printable (@ref{Quoted-Printable}) or Base64
(@ref{Base64}).@refill

However 8bit MTA are increasing today.@refill

However if there are too long lines, it can not translate by 8bit MTA

@cindex Base64

@strong{Base64} is a transfer encoding method of MIME (@ref{MIME})

The encoding process represents 24-bit groups of input bits as output
strings of 4 encoded characters.  Encoded characters represent integer 0
.. 63 or @strong{pad}.  Base64 data must be 4 * n bytes, so pad is used
to adjust size.@refill

These 65 characters are subset of all versions of ISO 646, including
US-ASCII, and all versions of EBCDIC.  So it is safe even if it is
translated by non-Internet gateways.

PGP encapsulation in MIME (@ref{MIME}), proposed by YAMAMOTO
Kazuhiko.@refill

PGP-kazu defines a media type (@ref{media type}),
@strong{application/pgp}.@refill

In application/pgp entity, PGP encapsulation (@ref{encapsulation}) is
used.  PGP encapsulation conflicts with MIME, so it requires
PGP-processing to read as MIME message.@refill

It was obsoleted, so you should use PGP/MIME (@ref{PGP/MIME}).  However
if you want to use traditional PGP message, it might be available.

@cindex PGP/MIME

PGP (@ref{PGP}) and MIME (@ref{MIME}) integration proposed by Michael
Elkins.@refill

It is based on RFC 1847 (@ref{Security multipart}), so it is harmonious
with MIME, but it is not compatible with traditional PGP encapsulation.
However MIME MUA can read PGP/MIME signed message even if it does not
support PGP/MIME.@refill

PGP/MIME (@ref{PGP/MIME}) will be standard of PGP message.

@node Notice about GNUS,  , signature, mime-setup
@subsection Notices for GNUS

When @file{mime-setup.el} sets up for @file{signature.el}, it sets
variable @code{gnus-signature-file} to @code{nil}.  Therefore GNUS does
not insert signature automatically when it is sending a message.  Reason
of this setting is following:@refill

GNUS inserts signature after @file{tm-edit.el} composed as MIME message.
Therefore signature inserted by GNUS is not processed as a valid MIME
part.  In particular, for multipart message, signature places in outside
of MIME part.  So MIME MUA might not display it.@refill

Other notice is key bind.  In historical reason, key bind to insert
signature is @kbd{C-c C-s} (like mh-e (@ref{(mh-e)})) instead of
@kbd{C-c C-w}. If you change to GNUS's default, please set following:

@lisp
(set-alist 'mime-setup-signature-key-alist 'news-reply-mode "\C-c\C-w")

You should write @strong{good bug report}.  If you write only ``tm does
not work'', we can not find such situations.  At least, you should write
name, type, variants and version of OS, emacs, tm and MUA, and setting.
In addition, if error occurs, to send backtrace is very
important. (cf. @ref{(emacs)Bugs}) @refill

Bug may not appear only your environment, but also in a lot of
environment (otherwise it might not bug).  Therefor if you send mail to
author directly, we must write a lot of mails.  So please send mail to
