javascript thread: OT: Wrox mail server should not hamper with our mails


Message #1 by Teng-Fong SEAK <tfseak@f...> on Fri, 18 Oct 2002 17:30:48 +0200
You're working for our mailing list server, I should show respect to 
you,
but ...... I don't understand you, you had admitted that the mail 
server
"de-MIME" our mails, so why do you still want to argue?  The problem is 
in
your mail server, not the intermediate ones.

Do you know the use of MIME multipart headers?  They are not just there 
to
make our mails bigger, but they are there to info our mailer programs 
how to
handle every part of the mails.  For instance, a mail can have one part 
in
quoted printable while the other isn't.  Of course, this isn't the 
whole
story.  MIME header could also inform mailer programs if the message 
was in
8-bit or 7-bit, in which encoding it was, or if this part is an 
attachment.

So, if you remove MIME header concerning quoted printable info but you 
don't
do the conversion in the server, it's sure that we get =3D20, =3D3D, 
etc.

In another post, you said it's better to send mail in plain ascii (ie
7-bit!).  But can't you see that in this list we've got Czech, French,
German, Russian, Chinese and a lot more users?  How can you expect us 
to
send our national characters to the list in 7-bit without using quoted
printable?  This is purely contradictory.

Finally -- my last words -- can't you simply add your mail footer 
without
altering anything else in the mail?
