I stumbled upon this when I experimented with news to e-mail |
| 8 |
forwarding, where there are some limitations for the characters |
| 9 |
allowed in headers. Of course everything can be filtered, but things |
| 10 |
would be easier if we could stick to the GLEP 42 specification |
| 11 |
(namely "a"-"z", "0"-"9", "+", "-", and "_"). |

Infra, would this be possible? Only files with names |
| 19 |
yyyy-mm-dd-shortname.lang.txt and yyyy-mm-dd-shortname.lang.txt.asc |
| 20 |
(for detached signature) should be allowed, and character set as |
| 21 |
mentioned above. |
