I've already recanted my heresay, but, I'm in a recanting mood so I'll say, 'yeah. I hadn't considered the -inline- issue'. I do wonder however how many people read the standard and tutorial, even with it's multiple restatements of header and body order, and get to the end thinking that they are

Perhaps my 'wonder' was a bit ill considered. I wasn't considering those who want to include abc 'inline' in messages. I was kindof thinking of a perfect world, where, if a non-ascii format were to exist, and a mime type written for it, that all email clients and browsers/servers, ftp clients/s

My last question on how fascist a program should be extends to other steps away from abc standard. Would it be considered a good 'feature' of a program to 'clean up' as it were, stuff that fails to comply with the standard, and should such a 'feature' be something someone could apply by choice,
