/ "BASE64"
; "BASE64" binary encoding format is defined in [RFC4648]
)
Description
This property parameter identifies the inline encoding used in a property value. The default encoding is "8BIT", corresponding to a property value consisting of text. The "BASE64" encoding type corresponds to a property value encoded using the "BASE64" encoding defined in [RFC2045].
