Please cite an RFC that says non-ASCII bodies are not legal. With MIME, you have the Content-Transfer-Encoding field, which allows for 8bit. And then, if you have a Content-Type type that supports charset parameter, you can "legally" have a body that is non-ASCII. Note, way back when MIME was first defined, it was probably not good practice to use 8bit CTE since MTAs were not friendly with 8bit data, but today, that is less likely. --ewh _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
