There is no standard for 8-bit sendmail as yet. The naive implementations (just don't strip the MSB) are broken in that they can corrupt messages--you don't want us to give you something that we know can corrupt your messages do you? -- John Haxby, Definitively Wrong.

Even if you have a sendmail that is 8bit clean you cannot reliably post mail around to every body elses sendmail in the hope that their sendmail is also bit-8 clean. -- Mark Garrett Internet: mark@loki.une.edu.au Phone: +61 (066) 20 3859 University of NewEngland, Northern Rivers, Lismore NSW Australia.
