Greetings:
I don't suppose this just happened with 2b25, but I just happened to notice
it (while trying out Peter McCluskey's new hypetombox.pl).
8-bit characters encoded to 7-bits with MIME quoted-printable are getting
decoded back to their 8-bit source, and pushed into the HTML view of the
message in that form. I'm not sure of chapter and verse, but this isn't
legal in HTML, is it? I thought 8-bit characters were supposed to be mapped
into the &NNN; or &special-name; things for HTML.
As it is, what I see is what was intended with Netscape v4.51 on either NT
or hp-ux, but I imagine some (compliant) browsers aren't going to like the
particular mapping...
Is this an issue that should be addressed for v2?
