Standards (JIS, the code set for Japanese characters) in the MIME/JIS
configuration. For more information about this fix, please see the following
Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

However, Quoted-Printable encoding is still used in messages that contain both
double-byte character set (DBCS) and single-byte character set (SBCS)
characters.
