I don't think that QP is unreliable per se.  It's just that long lines
are a problem.  QP provides a way for dealing with long lines: if a
line ends with `=', a continuation line follows.

Maybe QP encoding should make use of this to restrict maximum line
lengths to 70 characters or so?

But maybe that PDF file was an all-ASCII file.  Gnus doesn't do any
encoding when that happens, I think.
