I would like to encode some basic text strings into QP. I have tested several online encoders on the web, and none of them worked. One of them can be found at Webatic. I can use it to decode QP into something readable, if I already have something encoded in QP. But it doesn't work for me the other way around. I'm not sure why?... something wrong with the PHP code on the site? Or am I doing it wrong?
I don't see why all the web sites I tested would have this problem. Perhaps it is generally harder to encode than to decode QP? I had UTF-8 character set both on the site and in Firefox 27 browser.
Here is an example of decoding QP.
QP:
=54=68=6F=6D=61=73
Graphic character:
Thomas
But when going in the opposite direction, i.e. encoding "Thomas" into QP it only prints out "Thomas". I'm referring to the web tool over at Webatic here. But I tested several others and none of them are doing what they are supposed to.
Can this be done in Notepad++ instead of relying on web based tools?
N;CHARSET=UTF-8;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:=C3=96=73=74=68=6F=6C=6D;=54=68=6F=6D=61=73
. "Thomas" doesn't have to be QP encoded in fact, since it uses only printable ASCII characters. Despite this fact, there it was, along with other contact names that were not QP encoded.
