Re: [Pan-users] Re: How to remove MIME encoding?

[Vitaly Samourov]

Hello,
hope I understood all stuff here correctly ;)
Sorry for my English (plane heh heh), I was really tired indeed ... and
no caffeine :(

Ok, trying to be more specific:
I have troubles in posting of messages to the news groups
of russian Fidonet, which are koi-8r encoded. I've received a reply
from automoderator:

"Your article [bla bla]  as not posted to the newsgroup(s) because of 
the
following reason:

       MIME-encoded headers present, not allowed

In Fidonet there is no analogue of MIME, and Russian-language articles
must come in the encoding standard for the Internet (koi8-r).  Also, due
to the limitations of the gateway software, we cannot accept 7bit
encapsulation like base64 or quoted-printable.  Please ensure that your
postings have:

       Content-Type: text/plain; charset=koi8-r
       Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

7bit encoded 8bit data in the headers is allowed only with proper 
charset."

Question is: can I set up Pan in such a way?

Thanks in advance!
