# Method MIME.encode_word()

Method encode_word

  ``string` encode_word(`string`|`array`(`string`) `word`, `string` `encoding`)`

Description

  Create an encoded word as specified in RFC 1522 from an array containing a raw text string and a char set name.

  The text will be transfer encoded according to the encoding argument, which can be either `"base64"` or `"quoted-printable"` (or either `"b"` or `"q"` for short).

  If either the second element of the array (the char set name), or the encoding argument is 0, the raw text is returned as is.
