} PMDF uses mnemonic support as part of its character set conversion
} facilities. I'm quite sure of this since I wrote the code to do it. I
} believe PP uses RFC1345 mnemonics as well. That's two commercial
} implementations right off, and I'm pretty sure there are several more.
Just as a data point: We recently got from a very large firm, which
shall remain nameless, an RFP for their corporate-wide mail system.
That RFP stated as one of the requirements of the system that it MUST
*NOT* use any part of RFC1345. No explanation for this was given.
