Indeed. However the message should be sent as a multipart/alternative,
even if the markups used are a proper subset of

One thriving application of multimedia mail is the exchange of
ducuments for revision. The original editor format must be preserved.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We
might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason. -Jack Handey
