Since MIME had to have an encapsulation method for other reasons, it was convenient (and useful) to use it as a bounce encapsulator, since it could be handled automatically by any MIME-aware MUA, and without ambiguity or ad-hockery needed to figure out where the bounce ended and the original began... -- # Christopher Davis # <ckd@kei.com> # <ckd@eff.org> # [CKD1] # MIME # RIPEM # ``"mail" is an _uncountable_ noun. Like water, or spam, it is not treated grammatically as if it had natural, countable smallest units (except perhaps in Monty Python skits).'' -- Alfred Kriman <kriman@acsu.buffalo.edu>
