I've been using VMS MAIL for about 13 years. I use it for practically
everything. I regularly use the compose key to produce characters from
the DEC multinational character set which are not in 7-bit printable
US-ASCII. I realise that these will only display correctly if the
recipient is using an identical or at least similar character set.
However, if I know that, and if all email handling is 8-bit clean, is
there a reason not to use this?
The reason I ask is that yesterday, for the first time ever, I got an
error message from a mail server because the Subject: header of a mail
message I sent had such a character in it. Is this in violation of any
RFC, i.e. was the mail server correct in rejecting it?
