Which is more broadly supported?  Which has more emailers in place using it?

Which uses an existing standard for more than one purpose, instead of two
conflicting standards?


There are a heck of a lot more people using Eudora, Netscape, and Microsoft
products than there are using mutt.

I'm not saying that's necessarily a good thing, but it is a thing.  :-)
