Question is, is BINARYMIME doable? Or a lost cause?
As I see it, the problem is a message getting stuck "in the middle" where
the next hop doesn't support the extension e.g. user has a .forward file.
For systems that have separate MUA and MTA, the MUA has no way to tell
whether a downstream recipient will support BINARYMIME
The MSA could call ahead/cut-through, doesn't exim do that? That might also
allow for the mua to throw an error ui at the user if they fat-fingered the
recipient rather than getting a bounce back later.
