Isn't that just punting the problem downstream, forcing others to
investigate unknown-8bit, probably with suspicion; "Is it trying to
trigger some flaw?"? Better to plug foulness at the source and refuse
to produce it IMO. I can't see why it's a valid thing to attempt in
the modern day.
I'm with Ralph on this. After two decades of MIME, it is inexcusable to
get this wrong.
I can understand this thinking (although it seems like we would be the only
MUA who actually does that), but architecturally it's a little hard now,
since write_charset_8bit() currently is always expected to return something
valid. We could call adios() from inside of that, but doing that seems
wrong to me as well.
