text/plain is what we use, and that's a problem that'll need to be solved.

In practice, reflowing RFC-formatted text/plain works just fine.  You have to skip 
the page headers, but it's really not that bad.   Yes, ASCII-art won't work well --- 
but a 800x600 SVG jpeg won't work well on a 3" screen anyway.

Ok, so it works well except when it does not. Not convinced.

Best regards, Julian
