Notes
The [Files] Encode Base64 module is useful for encoding a binary file into a Base64 encoded block of text. The Base64 format is used in many places to allow for the use of binary data in places that might technically only support the transfer or storage of text data. For example, SMTP email messages do not support the inclusion of binary data into the email message. Thus underneath the surface, all embedded images and file attachments in an SMTP email are encoded in Base64.
