"Verbal aggression"? That's putting it rather strongly, I think. The reason given for the reversion was because it was non-ASCII. Everything I observed follows from that. -- If non-ASCII is *non*allowed, why do we allow =encoding at all? -- If non-ASCII *is* allowed, then why is the reversion "needed"? And I didn't even put a non-ASCII character in the pod. I specified that it was code point B2 by writing E<B2>. What's the problem? It says encoding utf8, and we know what character that code point is in the Unicode charset. Seriously: are we or are we not restricted to 7-bit ASCII? A simple yes or no answer is all I am looking for. Whatever the answer is, certain matters (which I'm sure anyone can see) all necessarily follow. But without that answer, I do not know what I am "supposed" to do. --tomThread Previous | Thread Next
