Subject:

please add unicode-1-1-utf-7 as alias for utf7

For some unknown reason, some busted mailers use unicode-1-1-utf-7 as an encoding for utf7. This makes many email-handlers die when they try to use Encode to decode the mime words in the headers. I'd rather not have to use Encode::Alias everywhere all the time. Could this be added as a global aliase? -- rjbs

Hey, I was wrong. It isn't busted to do this, it's in an RFC. http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1642.html -- rjbs
