Please also disregard DL> his rants about maintenance. 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. -- Rat \ Warning: pregnant women, the elderly, and Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ children under 10 should avoid prolonged PGP Key: at a key server near you! \ exposure to Happy Fun Ball.
