I am becoming more and more confused.  I thought we were (at this
point0 only rtrying to decide exactly how to identify (what label to
use to identify) the character set that is (was) specified in the
original RFC822.  

Howabout calling it "822ASCII" since that is exactly what we mean.

Now, did RFC822 really nail down what character set it meant to be
used?  I have heard of something called "NVT-ASCII" whatever that is.

 I am beginning to wonder how we have managed for all these
years to not get messed up on this question of what the original
character set was (is)!

Beyond this, I do agree that we should decide what is the exact
character set to be allowed in the body-part headers, but that was not
the original question.  Fine by me if it is chosen to be "822ASCII".

Best...\Stef
