Re: NULL

What is the merit?

The merit is that, by having a label for characters 1-255, we have a label
for something that will be of both reasonable ease of implementation, and
also will cover a wide variety of character sets.

That's a valid reason only when support for "binary" won't be ubiquitous.

So, I don't like it.

Character sets that use NULs will of course not be included; but they can
always use QP or Base64 or binary.

It's a waste of resource not to utilize 8BITMIME SMTP.
