I can't speak to that specific case, but I would guess this would be a 
decision of last resort.  BITNET spoke EBCDIC, and UNIX email often didn't 
survive the ASCII->EBCDIC->ASCII translations unscathed.

I ran a BITNET node (AUCS) using UREP running on a Sun 3/160.  Dealing 
with character set translation was always a pain in the butt.
