Re: [Nmh-workers] Weird behavior with non-ascii code in headers

2013-06-26 22:27:20
And isn't that necessary to protect against potentially
dangerous behavior:  what if Valdis had an alias that
matched the degenerate address that ended up in his draft?

Sure, that would have been bad.  But if instead the invalid character
had been replaced by a ?, everything would have worked fine.

That doesn't remove the possibility, it just makes it very,
very unlikely.  If we're going to change something, we might
as well do it right.  And, we wouldn't have to advise users
to not use "?" in aliases.
