Better to add a bit that says 'containsnulls'. MIME requires specific behaviour in the face of NULs, as does SMTP. I don't like this 'isvalid7bit' idea. The suitability of a body part for 7 bit transport can – and should – be inferred from contains8bit and containsnulls. Adding 'isvalid7bit' makes way for conflicting assertions as to whether the code is 7 bit or not. You could always '#define ISVALID7BIT(foo) (!(foo->contains8bit || foo->containsnulls))'. And similarly for ISVALID8BIT. --lyndon
