He has complained about the use of Unicode in this thread, and this post is 
a reply following subsequent replies to that complaint.  

A couple of replies down this thread, Robert Heller stated the following:

<quote>
> Probably the Unicode. I have Unicode in my mails.

Why? This is an English newsgroup.
</quote>

Then, he proceeded to claim that "really any language using the roman 
alphabet" "either needs no encoding or can use a lightweight encoding". On 
another post in this thread, Robert Heller made the following claim:

<quote>
Right.  And the odd UTF-8 in the sig can be handled with
quoted-printable or something (and be ignored by people who can't/don't
deal with oriental languages). The rest of the posting would essentially
be in ASCII.
</quote>

So, he isn't really complaining about the use of base64.  He is complaining 
about the use of any other encoding scheme beyond pure ASCII, and he is 
basing his claims in premises which are silly and technically wrong.
