Hi Duane, > Apparently, it depends on whether you define "MIME Message" as > "Conforms to RFC 2045... or "Contains Readable Mime Data"...
If it does not conform to the RFCs then it doesn't contain readable MIME. It contains data that could be interpreted as MIME if assumptions are made, and that's a bad idea as it promotes deviation from the RFCs that others then have to also support. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-thomson-postel-was-wrong-00 > if I were trying to *detect* a "Mime Message", I would use the > latter... Detect a MIME message by following the RFCs. If that misses too many malformed MIME messages then adds heuristics to spot those. In nmh's case, you're the first source of such malformed messages in the draft stage. :-) -- Cheers, Ralph. -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
