Hi Paul,
mhshow: "message/rfc822" type in message 1 should be encoded in 7bit
or 8bit, continuing...
...
I thought (from reading the man page, and skimming the code) that
this change to C-T-E (i.e., binary --> 8bit) is exactly what
-fixcte was supposed to do.
...
and what does the -fixcte paragraph in mhfixmsg(1) say?
The -fixcte switch enables a transformation to change the Content-
Transfer-Encoding from an invalid value to 8-bit in message parts with
a Content-Type of multipart and message, as required by RFC 2045, §6.4.
That condition is indicated by a “must be encoded in 7bit, 8bit, or bi‐
nary” error message from mhlist and other nmh programs that parse MIME
messages.
I MANOPT='--nh --nj'. :-)
David's answered fully. My suspicions were raised by the error you
quoted from mhshow above not matching my mhfixmsg(1) man page, or yours.
should be encoded in 7bit or 8bit,
must be encoded in 7bit, 8bit, or binary
