Sometimes I pipe an email into Vim and then I cannot read it because it is encoded in quoted printable. Mentioning this in my vimrc helps:

nnoremap <Leader>Q :%s/=\(\x\x\<BAR>\n\)/\=submatch(1)=='\n'?'':nr2char('0x'.submatch(1))/ge<CR>
vnoremap <Leader>Q :s/=\(\x\x\<BAR>\n\)/\=submatch(1)=='\n'?'':nr2char('0x'.submatch(1))/ge<CR>

-vnoremap &lt;silent&gt; &lt;leader&gt;Q :call &lt;SID&gt;FromQuoPri()&lt;cr&gt;
 </pre>
-The trick is to use a ranged function. Otherwise the = line continuations won't be substituted correctly.

-How is this different from the following?
-<pre>
-nnoremap &lt;silent&gt; &lt;Leader&gt;Q :%s/=\(\x\x\&lt;BAR&gt;\n\)/\=submatch(1)=='\n'?'':nr2char('0x'.submatch(1))/ge&lt;CR&gt;
-vnoremap &lt;silent&gt; &lt;Leader&gt;Q :s/=\(\x\x\&lt;BAR&gt;\n\)/\=submatch(1)=='\n'?'':nr2char('0x'.submatch(1))/ge&lt;CR&gt;
-</pre>

-Just a matter of taste. I didn't like to edit both lines simultaneously when developing it.
