Our PMDF MAIL user agent implements MIME per the specification. (So does the
version of Pine we ship, but it is not really any different than UW Pine in
this regard.)

We also implement MIME handling as part of our various LAN email, X.400, MR,
and SNADS gateways, but I'm not entirely sure that these really count as MIME
user agent implementations.

There are probably more implementatons of CTE binary than any other CTE besides
7bit. Ever heard of Web browsers?
