| 7bit |
The default transfer encoding
type, which consists of printable ASCII characters. |

the ISO Latin-1 character set); this encoding type is not commonly
used. |
| base64 |
The transfer encoding type
commonly used to convert binary data into 7-bit ASCII characters so
that it may be transported safely through the mail system. |

All characters; binary transfer
encoding is rarely used. |

Printable ASCII characters, with
non-printable or extended characters represented using their
hexadecimal equivalents. |

A transfer encoding type similar
in function to the base64 encoding method. |

encoding method used when attaching a file, see the
AttachFile method.
