Right. And I'm advocating that it should be automatic and not require any user intervention (i.e., typing ""). > For instance, Message could go over an article paragraph by paragraph, and > see whether each paragraph can validly be written in some charset or other, > and if not, it could ask the user for help. Yes, that's pretty much what I was suggesting. Does it have to be on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis though? I'm no MIME expert, so forgive the basic question, but is it not theoretically possible to compose the MIME parts so that a Japanese character could be next to a Chinese character on the same line? > But I'm (as always) a bit leery of interfaces that try to guess what the > user wants. I'm not sure where the guesswork comes in at, but I see I'm losing this battle, so I'll just crawl back in my lurker hole.
