Re: non-ASCII in headers

Hi. I would really like to understand why some people make harsh comments
about the use of ISO646 national variations, while they seem to be perfectly
happy by the (mostly japanese) use of ISO 2022.

In my (probably broken) mind :
- both are somewhat conformant, because only octets in the range 0-127
  are used ;
- both are non-conformant, because the real meaning of those octets is not
  given by the USASCII table.

RFC822 specifies the use of USASCII for both headers and body, so there cant't
be any difference in appreciation depending on where the said usage happens.

Simply wondering....                                        /AF
