   At least the recipient has the unintelligible data well isolated and 
   labeled.  MIME did its job.

Indeed.  If I get a mail message which is in HTML only, 99.97% of the
time it's SPAM-mail.  And I've lost count of how many time I've received
Chinese (or other Asian language) SPAM-mail.  In fact, I'm seriously
thinking about coding up a rule which automatically junks HTML mail
unread. 

I guess MIME is useful for something.  :-)
