        Documentation of what, buddy boy? Of the format of SMTP mails?
 Or PGP  message format? Or PGP/MIME formats? That's all that you need
 to know to send mail to the voting system.

        No user has ever any need to know about devotee, really -- all
 you have to do is to be able to send email.  You know, bog standard
 email.  That has been true since day one.

        When your mailer sent in standard email, voting
 worked. Devotee has always been coded to accept standards conformant
 email --- nothing changed there.  If you want documentation of how to
 send standard email, hmm, there are gazillions of sites on the
 'net. I have no desire to duplicate tham

ps: for the sake of argument, all ballots, arguably, have always
 been UTF-8 -- just so happens that until recently, the ballots also
 happened to map to ASCII, since UTF-8 and ascii are identical for the
 lower 7bit code points.
