--- Comment #13 from Mikhail T. <mi@ALDAN.algebra.com> ---

In comment #10 you said: "SMTP does not support unencoded arbitrary binary
data."

A citation supporting this statement should be possible... But, to keep this
discussion from becoming even more confrontational, here is the RFC from 20=
00,
that provided for binary-clean SMTP:

   https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3030

> And there are MTAs that reject unencoded binary data containing NUL bytes

Sendmail -- the MTA bundled with FreeBSD -- is fine with it... Whoever repl=
aces
it on their system with something lacking this feature, can make sure, their
cron-jobs don't output binaries...
