John was asserting that EAI messages have to be MIME. IMO I think

I don't really want to block the RFC over that discussion.
Interesting point. From time to time I use telnet to send email (usually
when testing that something is working). I try to use as few header as
possible, and if I were doing it in some EAI environment, it would be
tedious to type in 3 extra headers (MINE, CT and CTE) which appeared to
serve no useful purpose.
