Email Email 8BITMIME (RFC 1652) is an SMTP extension standardized in 1994 that facilitates the exchange of e-mail messages containing octets outside the seven-bit ASCII range. Prior to the availability of 8BITMIME implementations, mail user agents employed several techniques to cope with the seven-bit limitation, including binary to text encodings and UTF-7. However, each of these workarounds necessarily inflates the bandwidth of non-ASCII transmissions. ...more on Wikipedia about "8BITMIME"

Base 64 literally means a positional numbering system using a base of 64. It is the largest power of two base that can be represented using only printable ASCII characters. This has led to its use as a transfer encoding for email among other things. All well-known variants that are known by the name Base64 use the characters A–Z, a–z, and 0–9 in that order for the first 62 digits but the symbols chosen for the last two digits vary considerably between different systems. Several other encoding methods such as uuencode and later versions of binhex use a different set of 64 characters to represent 6 binary digits but these are never called by the name base64. ...more on Wikipedia about "Base64"
