However, did you know that sendmail isn't completely dumb? I have a nightly backup job that stops Postgres, does the backup and restarts it. The Postgres stop and start are done using 'service', which returns a "Stopping Postgres [FAILED]" message if Postgres fails to stop. FAILED is red, so the line contains non-ASCII characters. Until I fixed this failure sendmail was converting the entire message body into base64 encoding due to the X-term sequences being used to mark the start and stop of the red foreground. I can't see any reference to this behavior in the sendmail manpage. Martin
