Wow, I didn't even know there was a UTF-7. According to wikipedia, it can represent most of the lower set of printable ascii characters (32-127, decimal) as is. For all other characters, it takes the UTF-16 representation and base-64 encodes it. That has got to be harsh for a human to read. I wonder how they handle the UTF-16 byte ordering? -- Rick -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
