A good idea, but I think people who use UTF-8 today are those who know well on character encodings and don't send raw 8bit headers. > I thought some Japanese non-spammers use iso-2022-jp in headers, which > isn't 8-bit, but it isn't us-ascii, either. Am I out of date? Sometimes I read raw iso-2022-jp headers. However, fortunately, there are no Japanese mailing lists in Debian. (debian-japanese is an English mailing list.) And more, MHonArc seems not to have features to convert Japanese into SGML entity or &#xxxx; expression and we cannot support Japanese headers anyhow. --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/
