+.cindex "quoting" "hex-encoded unprintable characters"
+.cindex "&%hexquote%& expansion item"
+This operator converts non-printable characters in a string into a hex
+escape form. Byte values between 33 (!) and 126 (~) inclusive are left
+as is, and other byte values are converted to &`\xNN`&, for example a
+byt value 127 is converted to &`\x7f`&.

Some of these will be too small to be accepted by clients.
Some may be too large to be accepted by clients.
+The TLS protocol does not negotiate an acceptable size for this; clients tend
+to hard-drop connections if what is offered by the server is unacceptable,
+whether too large or too small, and there's no provision for the client to
+tell the server what these constraints are. Thus, as a server operator, you
+need to make an educated guess as to what is most likely to work for your
+userbase.
+
+Some known size constraints suggest that a bit-size in the range 2048 to 2236
+is most likely to maximise interoperability. The upper bound comes from
+applications using the Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) library, which
+used to set its &`DH_MAX_P_BITS`& upper-bound to 2236. This affects many
+mail user agents (MUAs). The lower bound comes from Debian installs of Exim4
+prior to the 4.80 release, as Debian used to patch Exim to raise the minimum
+acceptable bound from 1024 to 2048.
