The point is, quoted-printable encoding will assure that the text
will arrive exacly as it was sent; without encoding, you can't be
really sure, because MTAs are allowed to reformat it in some
cases.
Of course Andrew's solution (sending as compressed and base64
encoded file) would be easyer to implement; however, since normal
email clients usually encode plain text as quoted-printable, this
solution would be more compatible (one would not need to use REBOL
to send the script).

Gabriele.
