QP is not really useful, as the environments where I think it was
intended for, Europena languages with at large portion of the
letters in ASCII, it is still unreadable. We got a number of complaints
from our customers until people stopped sending out QP. It is 
only quite occasional now that we QP messages here in my Danish
environment.
