Possibly. I am somewhat MIME-illiterate, so that might be a more
accurate description of the problem, but I don't know.

I'm suggesting that I have two possible settings that work when
forwarding to iOS users:
message-forward-as-mime: nil
message-forward-show-mml: nil
and
message-forward-as-mime: t
message-forward-show-mml: t

Yes, I realize all that. The point of my posting was that I want to use
the 2nd set of settings above and still get delimiters. Is there a way?

No; I wouldn't know where to start. Even if I could find the right
channel, it sounds like you are more qualified than I to do it, since
you have a better grasp of MIME.
