RFC 2616 is very explicit; The TEXT rule is only used for descriptive field contents and values that are not intended to be interpreted by the message parser. Words of *TEXT MAY contain characters from character sets other than ISO- 8859-1 [22] only when encoded according to the rules of RFC 2047 [14]. TEXT = <any OCTET except CTLs, but including LWS> So, we have a clear definition of where and when and how non-8859-1 characters are permitted, in spite of your's and Julian's claims in his recent draft. I really wish people would be more accurate in their assertions.Received on Saturday, 16 August 2008 07:51:33 UTC
