Re: software that drops MIME headers

Re: MIME header dropping, I would like to point out that RFCs 1341 and
1342 were designed very differently.  1342 deliberately extended the
right-hand sides of the current headers.  In much the same way, and
for similar reasons, 1341 should have extended the body of the 822
message, and not the headers.

I.e. for 1342, it's a horizontal thing:

    Name: <-> value

whereas for 1341, it's vertical:

    Name: value
    Name2: value2

         ^
         |
         v

    body text
