NeXT's Mail in NEXTSTEP 3.3 "just works".  The user only chooses between
plain mail, NeXTmail and MIME.

Unfortunately, I don't think NeXT have got it right -- I frequently see
mail that's a uuencoded tar of a compressed file /tmp/.long_name that's
in RTF.  I don't know (not having a NeXT box) what's going on, but it's
not very portable... perhaps this is NeXTmail sent out by mistake, e.g.
to mailing lists.

Yes, that's people sending NeXTmail, not MIME.
