Thank you for the suggestion. I'll adopt your patch.
The reaons of omitting ASCIIs is simply because I could not imagine a situation where you can not type them.

This was me, by the way. I was expecting to have to log in during the submission.

I use the rfc1345 input method to get assorted characters with diacritical marks and punctuation. It's fine for that.

Unfortunately when I access the system from VNC on a mac, I can't enter #. There is a good rfc1345 abbreviation for that (&Nb), but it's not in the mim.

Adding the line
("&Nb" 0x23)
to my rfc1345.mim solves the problem for me, but I can't see any reason why it and the other potentially-missing-from keyboard characters shouldn't be in the packaged rfc1345.mim

SP 0020 SPACE
Nb 0023 NUMBER SIGN
DO 0024 DOLLAR SIGN
At 0040 COMMERCIAL AT
<( 005b LEFT SQUARE BRACKET
// 005c REVERSE SOLIDUS
)> 005d RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET
'> 005e CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT
'! 0060 GRAVE ACCENT
