Hi Peter, you wrote:

: Note that even when programs try not to Q-P unnecessarily, things like

I'm aware of problems. My intent was just new users should check their
configuration possibilities for e.g. "Q-P only if needed", since in cited
mail it isn't.

: just "go with the flow" and get yourself a mailer that handles MIME.

Seems so, but I'm still thinking about if it's worth for old VAX/VMS.
What makes me angry is that almost everybody uses it, although RFC says
"be conservative in what you send" IIRR, so they should take MIME out of
draft to final and/or make it required instead of elective!
