My understanding is that sendmail uses characters in the ISO 8859
unassigned code space (the ones that correspond to control characters when
the eighth bit is stripped).  So you won't notice that effect if you're
using European characters, but you may notice with other character sets.

Urrrrghhhh! That is a mean trick. Does anyone know if they plan to change
that in some foreseeable future?
