+This condition is relevant only in an ACL that is run after a message has been
+received, that is, in an ACL specified by &%acl_smtp_data%& or
+&%acl_not_smtp%&.  It checks all header names (not the content) to make sure
+there are no non-ASCII characters, also excluding control characters.  The
+allowable characters are decimal ASCII values 33 through 126.
+
+Exim itself will handle headers with non-ASCII characters, but it can cause
+problems for downstream applications, so this option will allow their
+detection and rejection in the DATA ACL's.
