That would be half the mail reader writing population, then.  :-)

I haven't seen anyone giving a specific example; no.  It would be
interesting to know.

(The MIME tests I had people try out were all with "Mime-Version", and 
all the readers did grok them as MIME messages, so it would seem that
at least the bigger mail readers (Outlook, Mozilla, Eudora, etc.) do
this OK.)
