ckd@eff.org (Christopher Davis) quotes: |Christopher K. Davis | ``Usenet seems to run much like the Kif (or, |<ckd@eff.org> EFF #14 | for the TV generation, Klingon) high command. |System Administrator, EFF | Whoever takes action and can be heard wins.'' |+1 617 864 0665 [CKD1] | --Peter da Silva <peter@ferranti.com> In this case, I suspect the initiatives of our german cousins may make the larger problem of inappropriately-unencoded email easier: The few programs which make up news transport will drop lots of mailable 8-bit data into peoples's hands. We then watch german mailers crash and burn until we find out which configurations/sites need to run their mail through a &07f sendmail on their mailhub. This technique is know sarcastically as ``Canadian Political Policy'': we get half the problems the Americans suffer from, three years later. It's a real advantage to have someone else do a prototype for you. In the meantime, I'm running zmailer and mime, and watching out for 8-bit logic missles --dave (:-)) c-b -- David Collier-Brown, | davecb@CCS.YorkU.CA | lethe!dave 72 Abitibi Ave., | Willowdale, Ontario, | York Postmaster and CANADA. 416-223-8968 | occasional sendfail(8) consultant.
