in thread How to tell if something is encrypted

A polyalphabetic substitution cipher is a form of encryption, and could obviously remain in the set of printable characters. Of course, no one would use such a simple cipher :)

Also, Encrypted text could be "ASCII armored" ala Base64 or some other coding scheme, which would change the alignment of the data to be ASCII printable, but nonetheless the data is encrypted.
