the discussion was about 8 bit characters. admittedly, nul is
part of the set of 8 bit characters, but it was never part of
the discussion. the plan 9 utf encoding will never send a nul
as a multi-byte sequence.
anyway, we're talking about text messages. as i have told
numerous people (but not in this group): the M in SMTP means
mail, the F in FTP means file. grafting generalised file
transfer onto 821/822 was a heinous error.
