Dear Mark (and others who are interested):

I (mis-)spent my adolescence in a burgh north, across the Charles, from 
Boston. Although it was a difficult walk in winter to the news kiosk in 
Havard Square from Greasy Village (by the BU Bridge), I made it gladly 
for my own copy of the Journal of Irreproducible Results. Poverty kept me 
from subscribing, but, what's a school lunch or three? Recently, I 
discovered that that magazine is STILL a going concern. Shiver my 
timbers: I too am still afloat, logs intact (so to speak) in an old man's 
memory.

Your signature:
>"I have a spelling checker
>It came with my PC;
>It plainly marks four my revue
>Mistakes I cannot sea.
>I've run this poem threw it,
>I'm sure your pleased too no,
>Its letter perfect in it's weigh,
>My checker tolled me sew."
>                -Janet Minor
is amusing.

As is its attribution. I can't say I remember this from so long ago...but 
Xeroxes and the Internet have much in common.... You should check out 
this site:

What, you ask, has this to do with your question? My semi-educated guess 
is this:

If the service you mention is packing the ASCII 7-bit, it would certainly 
look odd to CE and, hence, be considered an enclosure: Whose service 
supports 7-bit anymore?

You'd have enjoyed the mirthful(?) tittering at the orher end of my phone 
when I asked ISPs if I could use my TeleVideo 910 on their service... 
"But I can read HTML," I said. They said they were sorry, but, no, they 
couldn't help me. I'm still beyond hope: I LIKE Claris Emailer because it 
doesn't "execute" funny stuff for me. (My default browser won't even 
accept a filename with '#' in it, an extra layer of protection! 51-50, 
otherwise.)
