Greetings to
all...
In regard to: the
LZJU90 transfer encoding for MIME.
I have pondered the
request to not use utf-8 and use base64.
Just saying that
there are too many charsets out there is not a good enough reason to not use
utf-8. UTF-8 is a good char set and MIME knows about
it.
LZJU90 uses UTF-8
because brain dead mailers will only understand the 7 bit ascii subset of UTF-8
where mailers that understand utf-8 will make better use of the
encoder.
In this way, LZJU90 and FS will
ALWAYS work.
This is a major goal and objective
of both LZJU90 and FS.
Does
every mailer know 7 bit ascii (possibly not) BUT many more know it than
base 64 or 85.
Regards,
Al
Could someone expand
on the reason utf-8 should be not used?
