Re: 8-bit transmission in NNTP1994-09-15 09:33:17- For a C-T: TEXT/PLAIN message in C-T-E: 8BIT form the defined charset can be applied also for the headers UNLESS they use RFC 1522 encoding to define othervice. I don't think this is a good idea, because for those systems that do strip bits, doing so might convert an 8bit alphabetic character into a 7bit "special" character...thus fouling the parser. This would certainly happen with news gatewayed to email. Keith
