Subject: A way to mark off enclosed messages?
Date: Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:34:15 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2obtiqwyw.fsf@pluto.luannocracy.com> (raw)


So, iOS has a "broken" mail client: it doesn't show messages
that are forwarded as MIME without a MIME-decoding/MML step.  So if you
want your wife to be able to read forwarded emails on her iPad, you have
two choices:

1. forward the messages as non-MIME, in which case you get nice

   -------------------- Start of forwarded message --------------------
                        ...
   -------------------- End of forwarded message --------------------

   delimiters, but the message is not very useful on the other end except
   as plain text

2. you forward the messages as MIME with MML, but the iPad user doesn't
   get any delimiters to distinguish the enclosed message from the
   rest of what you wrote.  

Bad iOS!  I'd like to work around the problem by forwarding as MIME with
MML /and/ adding delimiters.  Is there a reasonably painless way to
achieve that?

Thanks!
