Re: MIME messages without MIME-Version header

John,
you mentioned x-uuencode - does any one know if/where there is
a definition of this, i.e. the use of uuencode with mime ?

Unfortunately HotMail sends out such messages - they look very much 
like MIME
messages with boundaries and mime headers and all, but they forgot to 
stick
in the MIME-Version header; they also use uuencode to encode binary 
data. 
(If the right folks are listening .. please fix this and spare us
client-writers some pain)

If they use UUENCODE, what do they put in the content-transfer-encoding
field?


x-uuencode.
