(I am not sure, if i will write this properly in English...) I see a lot of advantages of homing pigeons, eg. no marketing messages, phishing nor scams sent to random/harwested addresses. No encoding, forwarding nor SPF/DKIM/DMARC problems. They are environment friendly, etc, etc... Overhead of 7bit it is not as small, it is not just wasting of 1 bit from 8 (which itself is ~13 %), it is encoding wasting, with Base64 about +35 %, with QP it depends, as you already know (i hope). Another wasting happens with encoded MIME-words, etc, etc. It is wasting not only of CPU power or network bandwitch, it is pontless environment wasting. But why to care about environment, right? It is 21 century now, computers commonly uses UTF-8, or even UTF-16. Why we have to encode that to 7 b and then back? In other words, the E2E compatibility is breaking who nowadays don't support 8bit, not vice versa. regards -- Slavko https://www.slavino.sk/ _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
