| | It appears as though MH (I don't know about other mailers) don't

| 
| There's a reason why MH doesn't like it - it breaks the RFC.  According
| to 
| RFC 2046, message/rfc822 messages can only be 7bit, 8bit, or binary. 
| Thus, 
| a bug.  I have fixed this in HEAD - unfortunately, there has been mucho 
| changes to the MIME code in HEAD so I'm not sure how easy it will be for
| me 
| to merge this into IMP 3.x - I'll take a look tomorrow to see if this can
| be done without too much effort.

Unfortunately, there's really not an easy way for me to do this without 
completely rewriting the MIME code in RELENG (which I have already 
essentially done in HEAD!).
