Question for the email gurus - I've seen a small but not tiny number of messages where the Mail User Agent is sticking raw iso-8859-1 characters (outside the ASCII range) inside the Subject: header. And not using an RFC 2047 encoding. Our software is barfing on those characters when we convert to UTF-8, for example:
http://www.mail-archive.com/brygforum@haandbryg.dk/msg09684.html It's not clear to me whether these messages are illegal or not. If they are illegal, well, tough cookies. If such messages are legal, I want to make sure the software is doing the right thing. Pointers to a particular section in an RFC is highly appreciated.
