I also have a question. My mailreader under NeXTStep complains about the
following Message-ID:
<c=US%a=_%p=?Home_Network%l=HOME-HQ-971217052913Z-318(_at_)home-hq(_dot_)svr(_dot_)home(_dot_)net>
It says:
Missing terminating '?' in MIME 8-bit header:

Who is wrong, my mailreader or their Message-ID ?
Your mailreader. RFC2047 specifies the encoding on non-ascii data in
headers, and according to it, within a structured header (which the
Message-Id: header is) the "=?" textual pattern only specifies the
start of an encoded word within a comment. Outside of such a comment
it has no special meaning.
