I don't think it's just the bottom feeders that do this [base-64
encoding stuff]. If a message contains a high ascii character, such
as the GB Pound symbol, and the mail client or the mail transport
only does 7bit, then the message will be MIME encoded, either with
quoted-printable or base-64. I think that Mulberry and Cyrus IMAP
server always convert to 7bit and thus always encode messages with
8bit characters (and this is one of the few things I don't like about
these products). I think there are other clients and servers that do
this too.
Can you show me some that my recipe would choke on? I get lots of mail
with things such as German diacriticals in it, and it doesn't trip that
recipe of mine. I haven't seen a false pozz on it yet, in going on
three months of use. But I confess I haven't seen mail from an entire
plethora of clients.
