If the destination mailer doesn't adhere to the standard, it will have a
hard time displaying conformant mail.
Given that this issue is not about changing content but lack of
declaration of what the content actually is, we've digressed. Adding
MIME headers will not make matters worse, but omitting them may harm
presentation. A question mark or X is the friendliest hint something
went wrong.
