Excerpts from mail: 10-Feb-95 Re: MIME based remailing co.. Rick Busdiecker@lehman.c (1667)
If you start your header name with X-, then you are conforming that gross, ugly atrocity that is MIME. And yet, by using headers rather than TGUATIM, you help to preserve sanity and avoid that vast majority of MIME slime.
Well, I have no idea why you think that MIME is an "atrocity" or "slime", but it is perfectly clear that you have no idea what it actually *is*, since "X-" headers have nothing whatsoever to do with MIME. The "X-" headers are defined by RFC 822, which has been the standard for Internet mail formats since 1982. Perhaps you should learn what MIME is before you embarass yourself further. -- Nathaniel
