How I setting to allow eight bit charector?

Hi,

I use iMS 5.1 on Solaris 8 system.

I want to allow eight bit charector in message header,

but, iMS MTA changes the 8 bit charector like below.

"Subject: =?UNKNOWN?B?wMywzcC6IDi68cau?="

MTA encode the 8bit charector using BASE64 and

setting the encoding type to "UNKNOWN"

I setting the "eightbit" channel keyword to default and

tcp_local, but It is not work.

How I setting the keyword allow 8bit?

Regards,

Heungdeok Yoon.

The quick answer, you can not do this. RFC821 does not allow for characters with ordinal values greater than 127, in other words all characters must be ASCII.

Thus what the iMS MTA is doing is good behavior. It is taking what was an illegal header and making it legal using MIME encoding to represent the non legal character. I forget the number of the MIME RFC that talks about this.
