Avoiding bad headers
My name, as included in From field, includes characters from the extended
character set. This causes problems with posting to newsgroups. The
moderators get the following warning:
X-Amavis-Alert: BAD HEADER Non-encoded 8-bit data (char F8 hex) in message
header 'From'
The workaround is to persuade Outlook Express to encode extended characters
as MIME and not as UUEncode, which is the default. The default is wrong,
every newsreader supports MIME now and only MIME allows encoding headers.
