Hi all! Sorry I'm late! (nods to my friends and handshakes all around)

I have been reading the archives as quickly as I can and noticed the latest
issue was over MIME.

I can understand both sides of the argument and I agree that some company
that shall remain nameless really did us a disservice by trying to render
EVERYTHING in an envelope even if it was not supposed to. </soapbox>

Why not just use: "Content-Type: multipart/digest;" (ref=
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1341/7_2_Multipart.html )

It defaults the entire message to: message/rfc22


You can put the different parts of the complaint into their own capsule for
people reading with a MIME enabled reader - there by rendering it 'safe'...
and it would also follow a nice format for automated/programmatic
readers/scripts to parse.

Just a thought....

Regards,
Damon Sauer
