RFC1894 ignorance produces at least these problems for interoperability in Internet: - Translation of the error messages fails - Mailing list software fails to parse the error message - Not MIME-aware, so the bounce of an 8bit MIME mail will be non-MIME compliant, and most likely rejected, thus causing a double bounce - Original mail is not encapsulated, so any non-text mail gets a garbled bounce -- * Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology (T.P) * * PGP public key available @ http://www.iki.fi/killer * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
