## Encoding Types

The encoding types supported by ScanMail include:

- BINHEX
- UUencode
- Base64
- Quoted-printable

A growing number of malicious security risks seek to embed themselves within a malformed email in an attempt to fool scanning and bypass antivirus products. The ScanMail scan engine's MIME-parsing algorithm can correctly parse and detect malformed versions of MIME-formatted email. The engine also supports 7-bit and 8-bit encoding/decoding.
