Yes, many commands, such as ls, mv, rm, amd chmod will still work, BUT many,
such as grep, sed and awk will not work. At least not until you supply some
additional commands. You ask, 'what are those commands?'. I don't know; I
don't know MIME well enough to answer that question. But, maybe, your Email,
'vague, undefined thoughts on nmh MIME processing", of 'Wed, 16 Jul 2014
00:30:13 -0400', has the clues.
I found that message quite exciting. I grant, that you were not thinking of
external commands, but I think, maybe it contains the germ of an answer to the
question.
