Forgive me for being dense, but I don't see how this could happen,
according to the protocol spec.

In section 1.2:

   Characters are 7-bit US-ASCII unless otherwise specified.  Other 
   character sets are indicated using a "CHARSET", as described in 
   [MIME-IMT] and defined in [CHARSET].  CHARSETs have important 
   additional semantics in addition to defining character set; refer to 
   these documents for more detail. 

And there's no "CHARSET" parameter anywhere in the LOGIN command.

Bill
