Subject: A (very short) independent opinion of Gnus MIME

Hi, people. This one made me smile, and I decided to share it with you all.
A mailing list recently rejected One of my messages because it was
multipart/mixed. The list maintainer asked me to use only plain text when
I use the list. I replied (among other things):
> I perceive your criteria as pretty severe, as my message was only plain
> text. Using MIME headers does not necessarily spoil a message to the
> extent of a reject.
The nice thing is the reply from the list maintainer:
> The problem is that my current software isn't smart enough to tell
> modestly messy MIME like yours from really awful mime like HTML and base64.
I much like this "modestly messy" to quality Gnus MIME works. Maybe Lars
could start use it as a kind of trademark in Gnus descriptions? :-)
