But my archive of the ASRG list, ~3000 messages since last November
sometime, had 556 messages without mime-version.
ietf-mxcomp (MARID) had 247 out of 4306 since 4/20 without mime-version.
Ok, I just reran the script from entire downloaded archives for marid and
mass and the results are:
1. MARID (imc-mxcomp)
Number of Messages: 5555
Number of Messages with Mime-Version: 4961
2. MASS (imc-mailsig)
Also for comparison of how things were 8 years ago, I just ran the script
again ARIN arhives for rwhois mail list for years 95 & 96:
Number of Messages: 497
Number of Messages with Mime-Version: 314
So we moved from 3/5 to 9/10 of emails being mime. And I actually think
its more then 9/10 for non-technical forum where 99% of users use one
of of main email clients (outlook, aol, mozilla/netscape, eudora) and all
of them add mime-version in there.
