Re: MIME to Draft Standard

Another buglet to be discussed:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
12) MIME-Version header is defined by RFC 1341 as

MIME-Version := text

but RFC 1342 says that an encoded-word may be used anywhere a "text"
can appear.  This is probably not what we want.

My suggested fix:

Redefine MIME-Version to be

MIME-Version := 1*DIGIT "." 1*DIGIT

which should give us plenty of rope :-)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a list of RFC 1342-specific bugs to follow....
