When we were working on DKIM canonicalization we had lengthy discussions about
what to do about MIME and we decided not to even try.  There is no canonical
representation of a MIME message and nobody to my knowledge has ever tried to
describe what it would mean for two MIME messages to be equivalent, since they
could vary in a fantastic number of ways.  Part separators can change, the
pieces of multipart/whatever might change, line breaks in quoted-printable
and base64 can change, spacing and capitalization of headers can change, and
that's just what I can think of in two minutes.

R's,
John
