Hi,
Without my AD hat on: I need information about MUAs which support
8BITMIME and/or BINARYMIME for an article I am writing.
I thought Thunderbird supported 8BITMIME, but I can't find any evidence of this.

So please let me know if you know any client supporting these extensions.


I do note you said this was for a paper. But as a formality, since this is a working group mailing list and the spec is subject to IESG decision-making, it is probably worth explicitly noting:

   Implementation in clients ought not to be a requirement for Full Standard.

Even if 8bitmime were only used among MTAs, it ought to be plenty for justifying escalation to full standard.

As I say, I'm posting this merely to have it in the record.

I suggest that folks not bother responding, unless they disagree with my assessment.
