I can understand this thinking (although it seems like we would be the only MUA who actually does that), but architecturally it's a little hard now, since write_charset_8bit() currently is always expected to return something valid. We could call adios() from inside of that, but doing that seems wrong to me as well. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
