If so, AFAIK the whole protocol is pure ASCII. Not if the binary extensions in RFC-3030 are in effect. However, the gnu.org MX server eggs.gnu.org does not appear to have this extension enabled. If you assume ASCII, you need to ensure that the mail server never enables those options. -- Bill Wohler aka http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD
