Why does Convert.ToBase64String not insert line breaks every 76 chars?

[wolfie78uk]

Hi,

Does anybody know why the method "Convert.ToBase64String" does not insert <CRLF> every 76 characters as per RFC2045.

Obviously, this is extremely easy to overcome. I was just curious and wondered if there was some property I could set that would make this happen. I'm pretty new to C#, coming from Java, and (to be fair) the J2EE attempt at a Base64 encoding method is pretty poor.

Thanks,

Simon

Because RFC2045 is not part of its requirements. It is a MIME format that includes base64 as a subset.
