Since there is only one way/place to define the used character set for a message, it applies to the complete message... Or maybe it is defined somewhere that an origin line, and the header fields should be strict ascii... But then we couldn't have names with high ascii/utf in them. Which isn't current practice...

The @CHRS (not @CHARS) kludge is indeed different.

Bye, Wilfred.
