Let me guess: the software in use was Listar?  Today I got this mail
from a friend of mine who happens to be a Listar groupie:

    Bok,

    Cuj, ne kuzim se do kraja u MIME and stuff...  Uglavnom, ovo je bilo u 
    changelogu od listara.  El to u redu ako je i tako, ili to gnusi krivo 
    rade?

      -- Rewrote another portion of the multipart handler to allow for the
         fact that Gnus allows you to have the first MIME attachment have
         no content-type and expects you to assume it's text/plain.  Fooie!

(The Croatian part says: "Hi!  I am not really into MIME and stuff...
Anyway, this was in listar's changelog.  Is that OK, or is Gnus doing
something wrong?")

Someone hasn't read rfc2046!
