This (MIME droppings in Mike's email) happened once before.  So
I started automatically de-miming all messages sent to this list.
But that ran into problems when people *wanted* to use equal signs
in messages.  And Mike got his email program fixed.  So I stopped
doing it.

http://www.expita.com/nomime.html explains why MIME in email is a bad
thing, and also describes how to turn it off in various mail programs.

Actually, any program which doesn't *default* to off, and *warn* you
when you try to turn it on ("are you SURE you really want to do this?")
was written by idiots, and should be replaced.
