/HEADER /NOHEADER (default) This qualifier controls whether or not the encoded file begins with a MIME-compliant header. /NOHEADER is the default. When /NOHEADER is used, the /ENCODING qualifier is usually needed to specify the encoding since it cannot be determined from the header. To decode material that begins with a MIME-compliant header, e.g., specifying the encoding used, use the /HEADER qualifier.
