If the destination mailer doesn't adhere to the standard, it will have a hard time displaying conformant mail.

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. -- Matthias Andree Encrypted mail welcome: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95
