	I'd be proud to be this partner, if you accept, of course...
In my own MUA, I already extended the mailcap format in the following ways:

	1. parameter definition support
	2. default transfer encoding
	3. bodypart edition through file selection
	4. special support for bundled more-than-8-bit-alphabets edition
	   or non-editable-with-an-ASCII-keyboard-alphabets with 8-bits-windowing-
	   systems (gargl...)
	5. conflicts between appli-defined visualization and mailcap-defined
	   visualization

Of course, everything is in x-something for the moment !

Keith suggested a very interesting list which could make me start a discussion
right now !-) May I add the following point :

	* make everything reasonnable in order to promote mailcap on other
	  systems than Unix

I can't host a mailing list here because electronic mail is not in my official
scope (well, my scope is HTML/HTTP, isn't MIME a basic element in HTTP ?-)))))
Where can it be done ?
