=head1 DESCRIPTION

Convert::YText converts strings to and from "YText", a format inspired
by xtext defined in RFC1894, the MIME base64 and quoted-printable
types (RFC 1394).  The main goal is encode a UTF8 string into something safe
for use as the local part in an internet email address  (RFC2822).

By default spaces are replaced with "+", "/" with "~", the characters
"A-Za-z0-9_.-" encode as themselves, and everything else is written
