My under-caffeinated mind is whispering about a myth regarding ancient
software on SunOS that stuck in things like 'Content-Type: uuencode'
when using its pre-MIME scheme for sending non-text data.
Unclean!
https://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/ietf-822/1994-12/msg00167.html
makes that suggestion as it argues against ‘C-T-E: uuencode’. But I
didn't find anything else of note.
Hoo boy, some names from the past in that thread. And Valdis, of course :-)
