I will say for the last time (applause) that this is not a problem with
gateways, but with mail _domains_.  Some domains simply don't allow for
headers other than a selected few. By asking for those domains to use
MIME headers, you are asking for the rework of hundreds of mail transports
on dozens of different systems, some of them 'legacy' systems in which
the relevant code is frozen.

I will cease commenting on the use of MIME for non-mail applications, as
obviously people just aren't interested. Roll on ODA and SGML.
