------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-05-24 23:03 ------- Just to reemphasize, if this were Mozilla, I'd tag it as "advocacy" and try to convince Yahoo to get their act together instead. In any locale where anything but plain 7-bit ASCII is the norm, you will get occasional false positives. They're probably relatively rare, because (a) the "weird" characters are not very frequent in many languages; (b) some people are still scared of 8-bit and will coerce their own writing into uncomfortable 7-bit renderings, especially perhaps in the Subject: and other header data, precisely because some systems go ballistic when there's 8-bit data (even more than 15 years after ISO-8859-1 became a widely supported de facto standard for email in practice!); and (c) tech savvy people in those locales tend to shun applications which still don't manage to get this right. It's surprising that Yahoo! can ignore this issue; they're fairly popular internationally and it's odd that this lack of standards compliance on their part doesn't actually cause more trouble. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
