Still, there are other good reasons why the IESG should add something like
the following to sendmail.cf on odin.ietf.org to reject multi-part junk:

     HContent-Type: $>+Check_CT
     SCheck_CT
     R$*multipart$*              $#error $: 553 reject multi-part junk


That seems rather heavy-handed; I've often found the vcard attachments to be quite handy, for instance. The IETF produced the MIME standard that defines these things, after all. The multipart mechanism is not itself responsible for the bad ways in which it is used.
