rfc2045-encode-string: should signal an error on non-ASCII strings

[Ivan Shmakov]

	Shouldn't `rfc2045-encode-string' signal an error in case either
	PARAM or VALUE contain non-ASCII characters?

	BTW, [1] specifies CVS as the mean of obtaining the development
	sources for Gnus.  However, looking at [2] makes me think that
	it's GNU Arch that is used to hold the sources nowadays.  Can
	the appropriate GNU Arch archive be mentioned on [1] as well?

The "canonical" sources are still in CVS, but there are arch (and git)
repositories that are synced with the CVS repository.

Gnus doesn't use `rfc2045-encode-string' for non-ASCII characters.
I didn't find no Lisp module that uses it for non-ASCII characters
in the Emacs trunk either.

	Are these repositories public?  And if yes, how could they be
	reached?

	Yes.  Indeed, it was my old Emacs 21.4.1 to use it that way and
	produce the MIME output damaged quite badly as a consequence.

	However, shouldn't the error be signalled, so that some useful
	diagnostics be shown instead of producing garbage on output (on
	this certain garbage on input)?  I guess, it's quite likely this
	library may get used by some other, not necessarily correct,
	code.

	(A wishlist priority item.)

Arch repository for Gnus (was: rfc2045-encode-string: should signal an error on non-ASCII strings)

Miles will surely tell you the location (he posted it on the list, but
I don't know it off hand).

As for <http://gnus.org/distribution.html>, you should mail your
suggestion to Lars, as only he can change this page (AFAIK).  The text
should maybe include minimal instructions as for cvs.

Bye, Reiner.
