Well, sure, but it happens that input data is broken and not fixable. For example, I did a little program to display email headers like the old frm that was bundled with elm, only with support for MIME decoding of the headers. Obviously lots of email software is still completely broken regarding MIME and also multi-line headers. However, something useful can still be extracted from that broken data. > BTW, can you display the following line? > > Příliš žluťoučký kůň úpěl ďábelské ódy. Looks fine to me. You used an ellipsis too above. Well, I don't know what it shold look like exactly. Lots of accents. Hmm, Google says it means "The quick brown fox cried too lazy"? Seems appropriate :) BTW, I'm sending this via Usenet, I wonder what happens in the mail-news gateway? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
