But which SMTP? The MTAs are already free to modify the transport encoding on the fly. E.g., I submit an 8bit message to my local MTA. It then forwards it to your local MTA, which only supports 7 bit ASCII, requiring my MTA to apply a transport encoding to the message before sending it to you. Which of these two SMTP hops is the authoritative one you want reflected in the on-disk representation of the message? --lyndon _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
