Fortunately, they're base64 (and they're application/foo, not text/plain). If they were treated as a C-T-E of 7bit they'd be invalid, and if they were a C-T-E of 'binary' or '8bit', it would probably interpret it as UTF-8 text and proceed to go and try to find fonts to display all the multi-byte characters that point out to code pages in Big5 or Klingonese space.. ;) If it wasn't piggy enough displaying a 64-char subset of ascii, imagine the piggy of going looking for fonts at the same time... :) _______________________________________________ Exmh-users mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/exmh-users
