Oh yeah, I genuinely thought that you were using mutt to read posts (particularly since, oh let me see, *you said you were using mutt*), and had somehow managed to configure it such that it didn't decode MIME, and I genuinely tried to help by pointing you at the relevant section of the manual (even though I couldn't find any option there which would disable MIME when I looked, but hey, someone else might be able to). There was no sarcasm in my post, only amazement and curiosity since I'd never heard of such a mutt configuration before. I can't be expected to remember the personal mail reading arrangements of every last person on this mailing list, particularly when it's so hard to follow threads you're involved in without going back and fixing up their threading by hand, which I don't always bother with. If your response to a genuine effort to help is a flame, then I strongly suggest that you inspect your own manners before impugning those of others.
