I don't think nmh should be complicit to you putting an RFC-invalid email onto the wire; there's enough of them in the world already. :-) > Especially since, if you think you know what non-ASCII encoding a bit > of text is in, you're just fooling yourself anyway. Perhaps I've misremembering, but nmh is trusting you to say what the encoding is, through your locale, and checking the content against that. If you're lying and get caught out, nmh is reasonable to get shirty? > Maybe we could just leave off the character set spec if it turns out > to be definitely wrong? IIRC the RFCs say an email on the wire like that is US-ASCII. :-) -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
