Says the guy who puts his response in front of the quoted text which
violates rfc1855 and adds a vcard  you really expect people to
take you serious?

Good. Now, could you please get something resembling a MUA or at
least RTFM to figure out how to make Mozilla cut this "card for foobar"
crap? "X-Terminally-Clueless: yes" in headers would convey precisely the
same message and would have a benefit of being shorter.

C program instructions are in ASCII, data certainly isn't restricted to that.
If you or your M*A can't or won't deal with anything but plain text, then
filter it.  Plain text is clearly in the minority of emails throughout the
world and the people on LKML seem in general not to care about MIME and
frequently use it.  Let's end this offtopic thread please.
