- Just got 4.0.5 and installed it. Release Notes says that IRIX is now
- 8-bit system with Latin-1 as default. Why does mail clear the 8:th bit?
-
- I know that RFCs allow mail to do it, but here in Finland I'd like
- to use the Latin-1 character set in my mails. The international mails
- also seems to accept 8-bit. At least mails to HP at California (?) and
- mails to Iceland survives full 8-bit.
-
- I have tried to compile the IDA-sendmail, but I had only two or tree
- hours time to do it and the compilation was not just "plug in and make"
- -system. I have to return to IDA-sendmail some time later if SGI keeps
- clearing the 8th bit.
