Non-mail? It's not in the manual because it has never come up before. I would be interested to see a message for which it's necessary.

EagleFiler doesn't change the content transfer encoding of the message, and my guess is that MailMate doesn't either. It was probably sent that way.

If you are seeing the encoded block in EagleFiler, perhaps this is because you have Message > View > Raw Source checked. This would also cause you to see words with equals signs instead of accented characters, because it would be showing the quoted printable source rather than the decoded Unicode.
