Sure. But he said "non-MIME". No MIME. Neither "Content-Transfer-Encoding"
nor "Content-Type" (I am not aware of any non-hypothetical non-MIME
mechanism equivalent to Content-Type of MIME). I might be naive but I
expect people (and mathematicians in particular) to mean "X" not "some
part of X" when they say "X". :)
