Nay, actually, I don't mind the subject at all.  I often think that
what I look at bugs.  :-) Though, since I am still stuck in 1970 when
it comes to mailer technology (this stuff is so old, I am immune to
all mail viruses), I'd hate to deal with the mime stuff.  I use real
mail systems, that don't mess with the bytes, don't wrap words, that I
test out to 10 MB messages, and just say, run -E and send it in via
direct inclusion.  If things are large, then a uuencoded tar file...
but that's just me.
