What about non-utf8 multi-byte encodings. Can 2022 style encodings have embedded printable ASCII characters? (Thankfully I've been away from that stuff long enough to have forgotten.) Also, I would convert the unprintable characters to '.' for display. The \xyz escapes are visually cluttering and obscure the viable text. --lyndon _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
