Re: MIME/news

An expert system has the interesting property that it sometimes fails.
(thereby mimicing a human expert)

Think about crossposting, for instance: if I crosspost between
no.general (default 8859-1) and fj.editors.mule, which default should
I assume?

Explicit labelling is IMHO the best way for the *sender*.
Since not all senders have followed this path, the *recipient* needs
an expert system (but can tolerate the occasional failure).
