I think that characters from Base64 are too restrictive. Base64 exists because of the need to gateway messages between different mail systems, some of which have horrible constraints. With POP, you have an 8-bit connection between client and server to work with. I think that Steve Dorner's suggestion to limit the uid's to characters in the range 0x21 to 0x7e (printable 7-bit ASCII except space) is a good one. Michael D'Errico mike@software.com
