Well, if it used "quoted-printable" instead of "base64" it would work
in more situations.  If it used a C-T-E only when necessary (8-bit chars
present), it would work in more situations.

Newer, or older?  It seems at some point there already was a non-encoding
version, which got replaced by the unconditional base64 code.  But I
haven't followed closely.
