I have support for 2184 (which 2231 updates) in my OSS Perl program, but mainly when dealing with attachment data where is seems to be of most practical use. I think several MUAs support it, but unsure about the ones used by most people (e.g. Outlook). I've seen the use of non-ASCII encoding defined in RFC 2047 inside of parameter values, which is not valid, but is likely that MUAs are supporting such abuse due to developers misunderstanding the MIME RFCs. I do not recommend nmh even try to deal with such data. IMO, if there is motivation to provide more robust MIME handling in nmh, I think it would be a mistake to not support 2231. --ewh _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
