Assiduously avoiding gnats, elephants, and standards definitions, lets
concentrate on the devisive topic. I feel a little responsible for most
of this thread, as I passively and deliberately flamed it into
existance. For one, I learned a lot about MIME multipart structures,
the concept, and its relevance to other areas which are evolving
strongly in tandem.
Let us put a violent motion to the floor, and guage the discontent.We
might as well get this out of the way.
Does anyone feel that dropping the original RFC 1421-concept totally would
affect their vital interests, financial future, projects, deployed
implementations, egos, etc?
Would this step quickly bring about a dramatic increase in the number
of PEMed messages flying around by leaving only MIME-PEM concept in
the field of issue, regardless of its ambiguous operational qualities,
which might be worked on?
