Anyway, for me QP is the daily way of describing non-ascii and wide chars. Much more common than say octal for me these days. However, too modern apparently to be thrown in as a bonus upon C-u what-cursor-position .
It also doesn't show the base64 encoding or the rot13 encoding, but so what? Why is the QP encoding useful to know? -- Kevin Rodgers
