Hi,
Our anti-virus system tags all IETF draft announcements as being potentially
dangerous. I suspect because of the unusual options to fetch the data that
are encoded in the MIME header.
We would certainly like to see that feature removed from IETF announcements,
as it seems archaic. This may not be within the remit of your draft, but
you may wish to consider what effect various MIME options have on anti-virus
systems, and potential vulnerabilities that lie within them.
(I can't actually see those headers to comment on, as they are removed before
the announce gets to me, with a replacement plain text warning attachment :).

Internet-draft announcements, as they are currently generated, include
a MIME-based mechanism to request internet-drafts via email. Do you
use this feature? If you do, could you please let me know?
Background: the IETF Tools team is working on a draft,
draft-ietf-tools-notification-03.txt, that specifies the requirements
for a document notification service. We'd like to better understand
how email document delivery is actually used.
