As the spec. prescribes UTF-8, I rather think that this should be the default.
+1
(i should have checked the specification before posting)
As we are running in a VM, that the undetlying OS does or doesn't support UTF-8
isn't an
issue. The VM will. We just need to make sure this is what we specify when
dealing with
character set sensitive code.
unless anyone objects or beats me to it, i'll patch SieveFactory so
that UFT-8 is forced by default and add a FAQ about this
