	BTW, content type of application/texinfo is also a legel
 content type. As is application/x-cpio, application/x-csh,
 application/x-tar, audio/x-midi,  image/postscript, text/x-csh,
 video/x-sgi-movie, x-conference/x-cooltalk, and text/x-patch

	By your argument, they are all legal ways to encode email.

	I think I'll start sending you the message as encoded as
 application/x-debian-package or application/dvi, since they are all
 equally legal.
