Comment (by xris <xris*siliconmechanics*com>):

 You're worried about size on a 2k email?  What about for the rest of us
 who would have a 0% increase with QP because there's no UTF-8 content?
 Nonetheless, it's your prerogative to choose, but I know that there are
 more people than myself out there who have had to turn off spam filtering
 (resulting in a 20-30% increase in spam in my case) in order to receive
 trac ticket messages, and it would be nice if there was at least an
 '''option''' to use QP instead of base64 (I mean, it's ONE option to pass
 into the python mail function).  Trac is the only legit sender of pure-
 base64 content that I know of, and QP *is* the standard way (at least in
 my experience) to handle utf-8 content, even if it may not be the most
 efficient.
