I can easily construct such example, for example by sending an email
to j�[EMAIL PROTECTED] using sendmail (an illegal address, but should
syslog care... :-) Sendmail then logged this message:
sendmail[29639]: KAA29637: to=j�[EMAIL PROTECTED], ctladdr=pere
(500/500), delay=00:00:03, xdelay=00:00:03, mailer=esmtp,
relay=swanee.ee.uwa.edu.au. [130.95.208.1], stat=Data format error
I do not feel a constructed message proves anything, and am contacting
a friend of mine at the University of Troms� to ask if he can search
their syslog collection for the special norwegian characters, ���.
I'm sure someone must have used them somewhere generating syslog
messages.

Well, I would consider a program not handling the complete norwegian
character set broken. And it should be easy to fix.
