My code which forces the coding-system 'binary works.
The FSF code which sets it 'nil through a variable breaks 8-bit mailboxes.
The FSF code with the same variable set to 'binary works.
I went through this in October and November of 1998 after MULE became a
"requirement". If the coding system is not 'binary then 8-bit mailboxes
will be corrupted. This is a proven fact.
The problem is known. The fix is known. So please shut the fuck up and
fix the code.
As for my rants about maintenance, the fact that I have to deal with Dave
Love's insults just to get a bugfix in speaks for itself.
