More of a FYI, but just in case you don't know, but there are LOTS of mailers out there in Europe/Asia where they DO send 8bit chars in the headers.
Yes, they know it's not a good idea (due to lack of charset info), but when 90% of your mail is within the same site/country, you'll get away with it. Let's face it. The original problem was with the likes of RFC822 not anticipating that there were people out there who didn't speak English :-) I'm on the Courier (it's an MTA) mailing-list, and it blocks mail containing non-RFC compliant mail - like 8bit in the headers. However, this causes huge amounts of compliants from Europe/Asia sites where this 8bit content is rife. The reality of the world doesn't match the RFCs - so we shouldn't score 8bit too high. Actually we should (it stops HEAPS of Spam for our ASCII site) - but maybe it needs to be more obviously configurable? -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
