I am beginning to write a program to send files via mail.  I would
like to design the protocol so that it does not run into bugs
and/or limititations of various mailers.  Therefore I need to
know the bugs and/or limitations of various mailers.  Also,
are EBCDIC and ASCII the only character protocols in use or
are others like BAUDOT still in use?  As well as the bug/limit,
I'd also like to know the mailing program itself, and if it is
only a version.

If there is interest, I can post a summary of the known bugs
to the net.  Also, if there is interest, I can post the program
when it is complete.  Currently planned implementations are for
VM/CMS, Unix System 5, MS-DOS 2.11, and a couple vairants for
Pyramid and Sun, and whatever other machines I can get my hands on.

Please send the bug reports to my bitnet address if possible.
