Yes, usenet seems split into people who hold-on to the view that it should be kept 7 bit pure ASCII, and those who have moved on :-) It's not a matter of opinion; there are parts of usenet that _are_ just 7 bit. If you want non-ASCII characters to pass through those bits, you've got to encode them somehow - UUcode, MIME, and HTML all have their followers and detractors. Adding headers that _say_ it's something beyond 7-bit won't help the messages get through the more geriatric parts of usenet unscathed. -- J. P. Gilliver.
