That's specific to quoted-printable. Base64 is in section 7.8. It's
reasonable to treat them as separate transfer encodings.
Specific to b64:
[[[
Care must be taken to use the proper octets for line breaks if
base64 encoding is applied directly to text material that has not
been converted to canonical form. In particular, text line breaks
must be converted into CRLF sequences prior to base64 encoding. The
important thing to note is that this may be done directly by the
encoder rather than in a prior canonicalization step in some
implementations.
