[ A copy is also being sent to Z-Code but I wanted some input from cc:mail
  sites --ajt ]

Some mail arrived here recently with a line:

Encoding: 219 Text, 814 HEX

in the headers, no other "MIME" type line was present. Z-Mail interpreted this
as a multi body part message when it was nothing of the sort. Both pine , mh 6.8
and elm 2.4.21 read the headers correctly and ignored the "Encoding" line.

For the cc:mail people, is this inserted at a gateway? I assume it means
number of lines since a byte count would be wrong (?).

Thank you.
