3. And what about the newly-proposed Mail-Copies-To field? Or Complaints-To?
Existing gateways have no syntax information for those, so could not
encode. Not to mention any header fields that might be added in future.
Existing gateways do not encode at all.
Naturally, if/when an encoding capability is added to them, it will
include an encoding capability for all the headers expected to arise in
Netnews. Clearly, that includes Mail-Copies-To and Complaints-To.
Headers that might be added in the future are indeed a problem. They are
already a problem with email headers and RFC 2047 (and new email headers
are appearing at a faster rate than is ever likely to be the case with
Netnews).
