NAME
       Mail::Message::TransferEnc::EightBit - encode/decode 8bit message
       bodies

INHERITANCE
        Mail::Message::TransferEnc::EightBit
          is a Mail::Message::TransferEnc
          is a Mail::Reporter

SYNOPSIS
        my Mail::Message $msg = ...;
        my $decoded = $msg->decoded;
        my $encoded = $msg->encode(transfer => '8bit');

DESCRIPTION
       Encode or decode message bodies for 8bit transfer encoding.  This is
       only very little encoding.  According to the specs:

       RFC-2045 Section 2.8 defines legal `8bit' data:

        "8bit data" refers to data that is all represented as relatively
        short lines with 998 octets or less between CRLF line separation
        sequences [RFC-821]), but octets with decimal values greater than 127
        may be used.  As with "7bit data" CR and LF octets only occur as part
        of CRLF line separation sequences and no NULs are allowed.

       As you can safely conclude: decoding of these bodies is no work at all.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Error: Decoder for transfer encoding $type does not work: $@
           Compiling the required transfer encoding resulted in errors, which
           means that the decoder can not be used.

       Warning: No decoder for transfer encoding $type.
           A decoder for the specified type of transfer encoding is not
           implemented.

       Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
           Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does
           not implement this method where it should. This message means that
           some other related classes do implement this method however the
           class at hand does not.  Probably you should investigate this and
           probably inform the author of the package.
