Hi Maurice,

I just don't think it's good practice. It's confusing to both humans and 
software. For instance if someone wants to send a reply by netmail which of the 
two should be used?

 MK> Speaking of standards, what about "CHRS: UTF-8 2"?  Even in the pure

Yeah, I know, it's been pointed out to me before. I use a more or less default 
golded configuration regarding charsets. I'll have to look into this to fix it 
somewhere. But I don't care too much, most of my messages just contain plain 
ascii, so there's nothing to translate for software on receivers systems anyway 
that need the CHRS kludge for this.

Bye, Wilfred.
