I don't agree, FWIW. Questions help the discussions, I think.

Hi Norm,

I have a request (a request, not a demand!). When a command has both a

I take your point, but the problem is... I don't know the long versions

Hi David,
I suspect you're running afowl of the 'linespace' test.
Yeah, I do that a lot because body:component= turns a blank line
in replied text into one with a trailing space.
Yes, that's really icky. Would be nice if mhl supported some kind of
`strip' to prune those off afterwards.

The above referenced file, Chart.pj, contains only ASCII characters,
and has no line longer than 63 characters. Why did nmh use a
Content-Transfer-Encoding of quoted-printable instead of text/plain?
That decision is made in scan_content() in uip/mhbuildsbr.c.

Well, that's a pretty big exception; with mhbuild you can literally
create any MIME message you can imagine.

I don't know who started that list, but I've been adding stuff to that
based on what I use during nmh development. I hadn't needed to use
RFC 2049, so that's why I didn't add it. But it probably makes sense
to add it at some point.

Hi Norm,
Can anybody suggest a course of study so that I can learn enough about
MIME to able to participate, meaningfully, in most of these
discussions?
The link to Jerry's book given earlier is good. There's also
http://www.hunnysoft.com/mime/mime-guide.html as a high-level overview.
In order to participate more meaningfully in these discussions I need to learn
more about MIME.
Studying and becoming familiar with the relevant RFCs is much more than I want
to or am able to do. I tried starting with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME,
but the tree of links overwhelmed me. Can
