Re: OP and pgp5.0i: some problems

Currently, PGP/MIME (RFC2015) allows only 7-bit content.

You said you wanted:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=KOI8-R
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Content-Transfer-Encoding could be base64 just as easily. PGP/MIME would
then sign that encoded data.

There are 2 questions:
1) do plugins in existence support the operation?
2) Should it be documented in OP or in a separate document?

MIME-compatible mailers will do the encoding.
