Obviously. The answer is: it can not.

You have also demonstarted that your method is not infallible.

No, you can't. I presented a message encoded in iso 646 and you classified it as ASCII.

That the topic for discussion here is "UTF-8 and all that goes with it" does not imply a compulsion to use UTF-8 encoding.

So I got that wrong...
MvdV>> you are part of a network that is about exchanging messages.

To be compatible wth Fidonet, you have to follow agreed Fidonet standards, not your own private standards.
