True. The inconsistency has been pointed out before, will be
fixed with the next release.

Yes, just comment them out - or not. The decision is yours: do_ascii
can decode some unusual messages - which can be useful, especially if
a virus scanner with deficient decoding is used - but on the other hand
the underlying perl module has caused some grief in the past
(crashes or loops or security vulnerabilities), so I have decided
to keep it disabled by default.
