Does any software out there still do message/partial?  We've discovered

but are in fact broken.

Is anything else out there able to do it, or is it time to heave it over the 
side?


Personally, I suspect that it's time to throw it away. I know a lot of people block it because it can be used to bypass filtering.

On our server software it's been blocked by default for over a decade, and we've not had a single complaint that legitimate messages have been blocked because of it.
