I've been wondering whether it might be a good idea to provide an inline encoding based on quoted-printable encoding. Maybe it is possible to implement quoted-printable using some kind of common shell program. Maybe even dd, sed or awk? But at least with Perl it should be easy.
We might wish to also encode the newline characters, just to be on the safe side, and perhaps slashes. (Tramp uses slashes to see where the remote output ends.) Of course, then the new encoding is not exactly quoted-printable and maybe something needs to be done for the Lisp side. [time passes] Oh, qp.el provides for an arg that specifies which characters should be encoded. Cool. But how to handle the target coding system for the decoding? Hm. kai -- A large number of young women don't trust men with beards.
