Does Andrew support the MIME multi-media mail standard?  If not, are there
any plans to add support?

> Does Andrew support the MIME multi-media mail standard?

In our own humble opinion ATK has the best integrated MIME support of
any mail reading software :-)

Seriously, ATK 5.1 supports MIME mail.  If both the sender and receiver
have ATK the mime-ness of the transfer is almost entirely transparent. 
(One of the exceptions is styles wrapped around views, which the ATK to
MIME conversion can't handle.)

For non-ATK objects in MIME mail ATK behaves similarly to other mail
readers which have been extended to use metamail to read such mail (ie
run metamail, and it brings up a window).  The exception here is that
MIME's rich text is automatically converted to and from ATK format
styled text.
