I imagine that GNU Emacs mail mode, for instance, would by default
attach MIME headers to send a message as ``text/simplemail'', rather
than the user having to say so explicitly. A standard mode toggle
(Control-C something) would allow the user to toggle to ``text/plain''
Please do not mark a message as being more complicated than it is (ie
as simplemail when it really is plain). I think we should follow the
spirit of the RFC here. In the discussion about charsets rfc1341
mentions that the "lowest common denominator" should be used, I feel
that the same rule should apply here. That is so that my MUA can display
the message with my fast and efficent pager (more or less:-) instead
of the slow simpletext viewer which hasn't nearly as many features.
