The "RFC-822 like" phrase is used in various places (for example, the GLEP specification) to describe the structure of the header section. I don't think it precludes us also specifying UTF-8. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Signature_Tue__1_Nov_2005_12_21_08_+0000_6ECRhET04/5+Wke.
