Re: MIME based remailing commands

IMHO, an ideal message would have the ability to handle nested objects of varying types, MIME is only a start.

What is it precisely that you might want to encapsulate that MIME can't encapsulate? Perry, you're missing the whole point, just like the exchange a few days about a remailer format standard. MIME is primarily a packaging standard. MIME does not define the innards, the payload, the contents. MIME is only a start at what the complete data format should look like. You say MIME, and you've not completely specified the data format, but rather constrained it in a way that most everybody basically agrees with, including me. Eric
