We're not going to make anything go away unless we have a migration path for existing users, no matter how few, or we have no sane alternative to stranding them.

Unfortunately there is no general MIME package; all of the various MUAs do their own thing. larsi went to the extent of writing a whole new markup language schema for Gnus :-(. SEMI (the successor to tm) isn't much help on that score. Kevin> Maybe I need to look at mew.
