No, using base64 there is perfectly reasonable, especially if you are Asian and use UTF-8 encoding (much shorter), or use UTF-16 (the sheer amount of NUL bytes is crazy even with ASCII), or if the eMail is auto-generated and the script doing it went for the safer route of using base64, etc. etc. etc. In short: base64 encoding for the main message body is not only acceptable but also widespread and in some cases the best option. But yes, this is a separate item which popped up during my tests with UTF-16 eMails. Hence, I separated it into a different patch file. bye, //mirabilos -- > Wish I had pine to hand :-( I'll give lynx a try, thanks.
