base64 and checksums

1991-10-30 12:16:43
I'm not keen on adding a checksum field to the Content-Transfer-Encoding
header.  Clearly only the base64 can profit from having a checksum
available.  As such, I think the way to proceed is simple:

1. Someone propose a relatively simple checksum algorithm to be applied
to the content prior to encoding.

2. This checksum, in ascii form, be appended to the encoded content.
