I think some of the purists in this thread are disgregarding Postel's
Law. It's all very nice to yearn after an ideal world in which no
serious mail is in HTML form, but in the real world, there's still a
fair bit of legitimate, even essential, mail that is. Do we really want
to drop all of it, falling on our swords in the name of abstract
principle?
