Yesterday we had a meeting to discuss the functional specification
for the UA we're writing. Marketing here wants to include things
like Wingz & 1/2/3 spreadsheets, dBASE files, etc!

the following thing is some specific sort of file. Things like
what encodings used to make it mailable are going to be irrelevant
to (my concept of) the end-user.
Fortunately defining something like X-dBASE-IV is quite possible.
