Re: We are using ISO-2022-JP *NOW*!

Americans often send uuencoded or binhexed data in messages.

Such data is not ASCII any more than the older ways of
encoding e.g. Japanese into e-mail. So if it is illegal to
use the older Japanese methods of encoding Japanese into
e-mail, then it is as illegal to send uuencoded or binhexed
data in messages!

And this, my friends, is why the application/*, audio/*, image/*, and
other MIME types were devised.

So, you are saying that the current MIME spec forbids sending uuencoded
data over RFC 822. Wow.
