I've recently been informed that the 7-bit encoding in my messages can
cause problems with certain Windows-based mailers (like Outlook),
preventing them from quoting the message properly for some reason. If
you ask me this is either a bug or even a deliberate measure by those
mailers' programmers, because most other mailers don't seem to have any
trouble with quoting my messages.
There is, however, not much I can do about it on this end; I can set
Pegasus to "Allow 8-bit MIME encoding" but when I clicked on the check
box, this warning popped up:
*** PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE CAREFULLY! ***
8-bit data is formally illegal in Internet Mail and although many systems
permit it, you should be aware that its use can potentially cause
considerable problems for Internet sites using older mail systems and
gateways.
Pegasus Mail allows you to generate messages using the MIME 8-bit
encoding format (no other 8-bit encoding makes any sense for Internet
mail) but you do so at your own risk and responsibility. Pegasus Mail's
author expressly recommends that you do not use this option unless you
are very sure of what you are doing, and will neither accept
responsibility for the consequences of your using it, nor will provide
technical support for it.
which once more leads me to suspect the problem is in other peoples'
mailers, not mine...
