The original quoting rules didn't specify unicode or utf-8 as a possible charset, thus you should encode in an ISO-8859-X alphabet. reformime -c utf-8 resorts to a =?utf-8?B??= (B for base 64) encoding, which is less readable by humans happening to look at the mail source file. All these standards are changing, but it will take decades before everyone agrees on a worldwide charset (probably klingon, if not utf-8.) After encoded, the fields are ascii-compatible, thus can be used without worrying. I don't think locale settings should affect the result; that may only alter how the shell handles arguments being passed to reformime, in case it needs to transcode them (does it?)

They are not aliases, strictly speaking. It is not a _standard_ feature, of course, but it has always been in Courier, AFAIK. It is used for handling mailing lists, so I'd say it is part of Courier's architecture. It is handy for "SpamFingers" that don't have to be set up in advance, and are thus convenient when you are asked for an email address on some website you don't trust. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
