Specifies the encoding types supported by the InternetMail class.
| Member Name | Description |
|---|---|
| encodingUnknown | The encoding type is unknown. |
| encodingDefault | The encoding type is based on the content type. Textual data is not encoded, and binary data is encoded using the standard base64 encoding algorithm. This is the default option for file attachments. |
| encoding7Bit | The data contains printable ASCII characters. This is the default encoding type for most email messages. |
| encoding8Bit | The data contains printable ASCII characters as well as printable characters from the ISO8859 (Latin1) character set. This encoding type is rarely used. In most cases, messages which contain 8-bit text are encoded using the base64 algorithm. |
| encodingBinary | The data contains unmodified 8-bit data. This encoding type is rarely specified for email messages because not all mail servers are capable of transmitting 8-bit data. In most cases, messages which contain binary data are encoded using the base64 algorithm. |
| encodingQuoted | The data is encoded using quoted-printable encoding. Printable ASCII characters are left as-is, with non-printable characters encoded as their hexadecimal value. Quoted-printable encoding is commonly used with HTML formatted email messages. |
| encodingBase64 | The data is encoded using the standard base64 algorithm. This is the most common encoding method for binary data in an email message. |
| encodingUucode | The data is encoded using the uuencode algorithm. This encoding method is common for binary attachments to news articles, but is rarely used with email messages. |
