Why do you keep repeating that? It breaks that kind of code only for
Asian use. For Americans or some Europeans, that code continues to
work unchanged and without problems. If done right, it could have
continued working for all Europeans, but that's an old gripe.
Yes, but it "works" only in a "dont do that then" mode.
If you're an American, or other 8859-X denizen, it "works" as long
as it doesn't see something off the wall.
Unfortunately, things like Gnus and the like are often handed
Truly Weird Stuff - in fact, *MY* only reason for using --with-mule
is so that headers Look As The Sender Intended when I read newsgroups
that get postings from the Pacific Rim.
No, I can't read/speak any of the languages involved. But I happen
to like it when the glyphs I see are the ones the sender intended -
after all the hassles of getting RFC2047 done, seeing =Q or =B in
a message header pisses me off. ;)
