No. By my argument, 'application/texinfo' and 'image/postscript' are legal ways to encode email, since these are document formats. Indeed, if you were to send me such a thing, I probably wouldn't think twice about reading it in some appropriate viewer. > I think I'll start sending you the message as encoded as > application/x-debian-package or application/dvi, since they are all > equally legal. 'application/dvi' also is a document format, and 'application/x-debian-package' isn't; see above.
