   Hi Maurice,   
      
   On 2019-04-03 15:40:36, you wrote to me:

   I just don't think it's good practice. It's confusing to both humans and   
   software. For instance if someone wants to send a reply by netmail which of   
   the two should be used?   
      
    MK> Speaking of standards, what about "CHRS: UTF-8 2"?  Even in the pure   
    MK> fantasy land of fts-5003.001 that appears to be bogus.  :-)   
      
   Yeah, I know, it's been pointed out to me before. I use a more or less default   
   golded configuration regarding charsets. I'll have to look into this to fix it   
   somewhere. But I don't care too much, most of my messages just contain plain   
   ascii, so there's nothing to translate for software on receivers systems   
   anyway that need the CHRS kludge for this.   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
