You said ``QMQP may eat your mail.'' That is a lie. You are maliciously
trying to frighten people who have no reason to be frightened.

The extended message format is not used for Internet mail. The fact that
it can't be delivered over SMTP has no relevance to Internet mail users.
There is no reliability problem here.

Inside controlled networks, or in a future post-SMTP Internet, it will
be possible to write programs that use the extended format. There is no
reliability problem here either.

False. qmail-send creates a bounce message in the extended format only
if the original message was in the extended format.
