   "Alist of regexps that match MIME types and their encodings.
 If the encoding is `qp-or-base64', then either quoted-printable
 or base64 will be used, depending on what is more efficient.
 
+`qp-or-base64' has another effect.  It will fold long lines so that
+MIME parts may not be broken by MTA.  So do `quoted-printable' and
+`base64'.

 Note: It affects body encoding only when a part is a raw forwarded
 message (which will be made by `gnus-summary-mail-forward' with the
 arg 2 for example) or is neither the text/* type nor the message/*
