I have been wondering when the time would come when we could stop
having non-mime compatibility as a major goal. I would guess 98 % of
all mail users today use mime-compliant mailers. But there is the
rest. We have, at our university department, a teacher who refuses to
use anything else than some old non-MIME unix mailer. She says that
if she gets a message her mailer cannot handle, she will forward it
to another e-mail address at which she can read it using MIME. But
only as a last resort!
ITYM 98% of users use mailers that _imagine_ they are mime-compliant :-( .
