Yes it was intentional to leave the server stream us-ascii encoded. One
design-principle of mel-base was, that no message should be altered when
it is transfered. I decided to write mel-base after I realized that a
Python
library, which I used to transfer my messages, altered the format in
a braindead way.
I've not looked at the code for a while, but it should not be to
difficult
to wrap a flexi-stream around a particular MESSAGE-BODY-STREAM or
PART-BODY-STREAM. There is no real working support for inline MIME
encodings yet - I've something half-done but it needs some work. Drop
me a mail if this is
still an issue for you - Perhaps I'm able to allocate some free time
to look at it.
ciao,
Jochen
