Yes, for the complicated case, it's complicated.
But how many people use a webmail service, access their mail via the
web interface and delivery is direct, one hop? Maybe it's 99.x% of
email users? The 0.y% of power users with procmail rules and strange
forwarding and all that keep using DATA with base64.
If you think that the internals of a system like gmail or yahoo are
simple, you don't know much about webmail. They don't have procmail but
they provide very complex per-user processing.
