Do you have any new text? As far as I understand, words of *TEXT never contain characters from character sets other then ISO8859-1, the same way URIs never contain non-ASCII characters. Wouldn't it be more precise to say: "Characters from character sets other than ISO-8859-1 must be encoded according to the rules of RFC 2047 for use inside TEXT constructs." BR, Julian
