Unfortunately, as the readers of TEI-L are aware, LISTSERV and other BITNET
mailers are by no means 8-bit clean. Neither are many Unix-based mailers,
for that matter. Hence the use of uuencode.
One reason for wanting an ASCII IPA encoding is so that one can work with
the text in environments that do not even support an IPA font, let alone
Unicode or ISO 10646.
