I obviously need to swat up on my ASCII. I never realised it
contained 12,320 characters!
Did you follow either of those links? I agree the name of the
campaign is not the best, but it's not about ASCII vs Unicode;
it's about proprietary/HTML vs plain-text email. See the last
note on the asciiribbon.org page:
And to those who ask the question "and non-Latin
alphabets?", please note that plain text is open to all
encodings (including UTF-8). Plain text e-mails can thus be in
Chinese as well as in Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew, etc.
So I don't really see any contradiction with the inclusion of
UTF-8 characters.
Also, further conversation should be taken off-list since this
is way OT. I replied here for enlightenment of others who may be
confused about what ASCII Ribbon Campaign is really about.
Charlie
PS. I'm a happy Mailsmith user who doesn't have to think about
whether I'm sending cruft with my messages, it just does the
right thing for me.
