Hi,
   I am new to MIME and am rather confused by the interoperability issues.
   I understand that some mail gateways in the market can route 
a 'proprietary' mail (e.g., created in CC:Mail) across an SMTP backbone to
another 'proprietary' mail system (e.g. MS Mail). My impression is that
these routed mail can only contain 7-bit data (no audio/video allowed). 
Am I accurate in saying this ?
   Assuming this is so, I would like to know if there is any 
existing (or planned) products which can convert proprietary mails to 
MIME ones (and vice versa) so that multi-media
mail can be exchanged between say, CC:Mail and MS Mail, over
the same SMTP backbone ?
   Any pointers is appreciated. Many thanks.
