Re: Interpretation of RFC 2047

2002-12-18 09:01:46

By my reading of RFC 987, if a PrintableString is used in a context
where something like unquoted "(a)" could be misinterpreted as a
comment, then the entire PrintableString must be further encoded in an
RFC 822 quoted-string.  

perhaps.  but this was not done in practice.

Apart from RFC 2912 Content-Encoding, what else violates this assumption?

the real problem is knowing which fields are structured and which 
are unstructured.
