A full byte bunch encoded in base64 is perfectly unreadable (by a
human): I just would have some kind of "escape" for special characters
among many printable characters. For that purpose and if no escape
mechanism is available, I would prefer having "quoted-printable" (RFC
2045 page 19) rather than "base64".
