X.400 in the 1984 version supports teletex and the IA5 (ASCII) character encodings. The 1988 version adds some more options, but not 8-bit encodings like ISO 8859/1. To my best knowledge X.400 in its current status will not help us poor souls in countries with alphabets with more letters than the 26 letters used in English. - sigh! But making mail messages written in ISO 8859/1 (and other flavors of 8859) work would be very nice. As Kim suggests we may have to invent yet another header line to accomplish this - sigh again ! - erik
