Smail shouldn't care unless it wants to try to intelligently
fiddle with the contents.  At least the contents are well enough
marked that fiddling with them should be doable.  But doing
so shouldn't be necessary in all but the weirdest cases.  (For
instance, if final delivery is to a FAX machine...)


>Also:  What about UseNet/NetNews?  Could this also apply to that?

Sure, why not?  The existing transport should be able to
handle it since it just passes along headers it doesn't understand.
All you'd have to do is fix up the user agents ...
