Which would instantly mean you would block out messages in other languages,
since they often need to be quoted.

1. Not in any message I have ever received.

2. Not in any fashion that I could read it if it did happen.

Works fine for English, but we live in a connected world.

Just as a message that will not be delivered should be rejected in the
SMTP dialog, so should any message that cannot be read by the recipient,
so the originator will know to translate before sending.

Besides, it would be easier to update or upgrade the mail program I would
think.

Since you think it is easy to "update" VMSmail, you can go ahead and
get HP to do that. Contact me when you have that done and I will put
you in contact with my ISP and you can try to convince them of the
value of upgrading VMS to get the new version.

Quoted printable, isn't
a "Microsoft" thing by the way; it allows other character sets to be
displayed and correctly transmitted across Usenet and E-mail
gateways.

I have not noticed it on my newsreader, but in my experience Quoted
Printable makes an email message quite difficult to decipher when
received on VMSmail.

Ideally I would get my ISP to reject such messages and prompt the
originators to form their messages into lines of less than 80
characters.
