+.SH ABSTRACT
+.IX Header "ABSTRACT"
+This module implements UTF\-7 encoding documented in RFC 2152. UTF\-7,
+as its name suggests, is a 7\-bit re-encoded version of UTF\-16BE. It
+is designed to be MTA-safe and expected to be a standard way to
+exchange Unicoded mails via mails. But with the advent of UTF\-8 and
+8\-bit compliant MTAs, UTF\-7 is hardly ever used.
+.PP
+UTF\-7 was not supported by Encode until version 1.95 because of that.
+But Unicode::String, a module by Gisle Aas which adds Unicode supports
+to non\-utf8\-savvy perl did support UTF\-7, the UTF\-7 support was added
+so Encode can supersede Unicode::String 100%.
+.SH "In Practice"
+.IX Header "In Practice"
+When you want to encode Unicode for mails and web pages, however, do
+not use UTF\-7 unless you are sure your recipients and readers can
+handle it. Very few MUAs and WWW Browsers support these days (only
+Mozilla seems to support one). For general cases, use UTF\-8 for
+message body and MIME-Header for header instead.
