Configuration items supported by iconv_mime_encode()

Item	Type	Description	Default value	Example
scheme	string	Specifies the method to encode a field value by. The value of this item may be either "B" or "Q", where "B" stands for base64 encoding scheme and "Q" stands for quoted-printable encoding scheme.	B	B
input-charset	string	Specifies the character set in which the first parameter field_name and the second parameter field_value are presented. If not given, iconv_mime_encode() assumes those parameters are presented to it in the iconv.internal_encoding ini setting.	iconv.internal_encoding	ISO-8859-1
output-charset	string	Specifies the character set to use to compose the MIME header.	iconv.internal_encoding	UTF-8
line-length	integer	Specifies the maximum length of the header lines. The resulting header is "folded" to a set of multiple lines in case the resulting header field would be longer than the value of this parameter, according to » RFC2822 - Internet Message Format. If not given, the length will be limited to 76 characters.	76	996
line-break-chars	string	Specifies the sequence of characters to append to each line as an end-of-line sign when "folding" is performed on a long header field. If not given, this defaults to "\r\n" (CR LF). Note that this parameter is always treated as an ASCII string regardless of the value of input-charset.	\r\n	\n
