Acceptable behaviour, yes. But it is safest to perform a non-destructive 7-bit transformation on the data. | RFC 977 specifies ASCII only, though. That is why. Vanilla ASCII is the most portable data format in the world. It works everywhere, even with legacy systems that for whatever reason cannot be upgraded. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v0.9.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE3Lcs8gl+vIlSVSNkRAvBxAJoDzCxQjOdMnv4pPdxjRdywHiXRGwCguHXb gf9r9bHbSu/M//m4aXAXHQ0= =I3/A -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
