It looks like many people and author think like so. But I
have one question. Is it right? Why the RFC822 says like
following in Appendix D if ASCII means only US-ASCII
(40-176, 32.-126.)?
CTL = <any ASCII control ; ( 0- 37, 0.- 31.)
character and DEL> ; ( 177, 127.)
CR = <ASCII CR, carriage return> ; ( 15, 13.)
...
Therefore I guess that the "USA Standard Code for
Information Interchange" defines means of all 7-bit data
like following, and the RFC822 defines all 7-bit data as
message body contents.
<NUL> \d000 NULL
<SOH> \d001 START OF HEADING
...
<A> \d065 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
<B> \d066 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER B
...
<tilde> \d126 TILDE
<delete> \d127 DELETE (DEL)
If the original handbook define only US-ASCII(40-176,
32.-126.), please say clearly so. I'm sorry about my
request. But I need a clear answer about book because I
cannot see it and I don't want to guess about reply message.
P.S.
I don't want to say about character set, encoding and
etc. currently. I want to make clearly definitions of the
RFC822.
With best regards.
