MIME subsumes/defines the meaning of messages without Content-Type: to mean that they contain US-ASCII. So you'd be breaking the spec's to transport things which weren't US-ASCII-clean ... (naughty, naughty) I don't understand how you wouldn't be able to insert Content-Type:'s into the header..? David
