Right now a user can sit down, compose a message that happens to contain
8-bit characters, and send it out ... and nmh will happily blast it out,
with no MIME headers at all. This is super-wrong. And it's not a
theoretical problem either:

Hear! Hear!
This is a very treacherous source of embarassment, because you may for
some time be unaware of the peculiar appearance of your outgoing e-mail. I
for one don't need my MUA to make me look stupid, I usually manage
unaided.
Just doing nothing is, unfortunately, not an option, not in this day
and age. This is all about making nmh a real MIME-compliant MUA, which
I hope is something we all want.
This, at least, is what your humble user would very much like, as an
unfortunate speaker of one of those nasty non-7-bit languages seemingly
designed in response to the ASCII standard with the sole purpose of
upsetting programmers' sense of good taste and no-nonsense by wantonly
introducing funny characters into everyday written conversation. (Please
pardon the sarcastic note.)
Best regards,
Rickard
