However, MIME is quite capable of carrying UTF-8, and UTF-8 is expected to be used in many protocols, not just Internet mail. Fortunately, very few vendors implemented UTF-7, and its use is strongly discouraged in Internet mail." Essentially it was never a great solution to the problem it was supposed to address (didn't really beat existing methods, UTF-8 in MIME generally turned out to be better). Still, whatever reader Marko is using should be able to handle it, if it is GMail then it's a bug in that. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
