Re: UTF-7 vs. UTF-8 for fallback charset?

2001-12-05 09:52:36

Now, we are discussing making UTF-7 that default instead of UTF-8,
because it doesnt need further Content-Transfer-Encoding processing on
top of it.
 
Would we seriously decrease interoperability with other mail clients by
doing this?

Yes you would. UTF-7 never really caught on so support is very limited. UTF-8
is the preferred charset.
