The point, Tim, is that you keep conflating a bad MIME read that you happen to use with the notion that MIME is bad. MIME doesn't force its users to understand anything about formats, character sets or anything else. Your mail reader is whats doing that. If you were, say, using the Andrew Messaging System which now understands MIME, you could remain blissfully ignorant the whole time of how the underpinnings work. .pm
