Thanks a lot!

Looks like that broke it for me... I will take a look at what goes wrong.

Yes, 'application/pdf' comes to mind...

I have these categories in my mime types file:

$ cut -d/ -f1 < /etc/mime.types | sort | uniq -c
   1289 application
    213 audio
     54 chemical
     80 image
      6 inode
     21 message
     19 model
     14 multipart
    107 text
    112 video
      1 x-conference
      1 x-epoc
      1 x-world

Wondering whether or not it makes sense to invert the condition, e.g.
embedding text (and message? others?), sending everything else in plain mode.

main(a){char*c=/*    Schoene Gruesse                         */"B?IJj;MEH"
"CX:;",b;for(a/*    Chris           get my mail address:    */=0;b=c[a++];)
putchar(b-1/(/*               gcc -o sig sig.c && ./sig    */b/42*2-3)*42);}
