Re: Lessons Learned from a Foreign Culture

Yes, I'll concede that a 7bit, 8bit, or binary encoded text message 
with iso-2022-jp charset is unlikely to survive being passed
through an EBCDIC environment.  q-p and base64 should work okay,
though (depending on which q-p characters are encoded).

See, EBCDIC *is* good for something after all!
