 o  Configuring the MLM to "wrap" the message in a MIME message/rfc822

     not expected to change soon.

This seems like a quite elegant solution. I'm very surprised by the second
sentence - are these clients that have difficulty with many Content-Types
or is it a specific issue for message/rfc822?

Only message/rfc822. E.g. it took iOS a couple of years to start supporting
it properly. And it is one of the better mobile email clients.

And "forward as attachment" that creates this message/rfc822 has disappeared 
from many clients...
