+# Previous versions of logcheck always sent messages in 7bit encoding,
+# even if that resulted in RFC-violating messages. For example, really
+# long syslog lines would generate too-long SMTP lines, which are

+# default is to let mime-construct pick an appropriate encoding, but you
+# can override it by setting the below (to any of the encodings
+# supported by mime-construct). You may need to do this if you have
+# tools handling logcheck emails that don't understand MIME encoding.
