Subject: Quoted printable when 8bit specified.

Headers, snipped of irrelevant data.

All the above headers came from the same message. Pine 3.95 is apparently
using quoted-printable and 8bit at the same time. Fixed someone this
bug in Pine 3.96?

I believe a Content-Transfer-Encoding header just applies to the bodypart
(or single bodypart message) it heads.

The use of RFC2047 headers (the encoding quoted above) is unrelated to the
choice of transfer encoding used.

In a similar way, in a multi-bodypart message, each bodypart may have a
different Content-Transfer-Encoding.

So, I don't think this is a bug.

Hello,
does anyone here happen to know a Pine function 
to allow for 
	deferred mailing, 
i.e. send a mail at a defined date/time ?

Do Pine 3.96 or forthcoming 4.0 ease in some way the use of 
well-known mailer / operating system features (cron etc) 
to this end or support any such function by themselves ?

Direct replies welcome.
TIA and kind regards,
hal :-)

Mean you that it's supposed to be "quoted-printable" by default, and
there's no way to put 8bit in headers?

If not, the design sucks. It looks horrible, and the threaded news reader
(Tin) here doesn't do "quoted-printable". It would've been better to
specify that MIME headers come first. They do if you put 8bit characters
in headers anyway.
