Except that (with 1.8b) a MIME-written message will be archived as a MIME
message, and a non-MIME-written message will be archived as a non-MIME
message, leaving a curious mix of (sometimes unreadable) ingredients when
you GET the archive.
In a recent mail about Scandinavian characters, Eric tells us about MIME
digests (and archives?) that are new with 1.8c. Does this mean we (the list
owners) will be able to force all messages to be homogeneously
archived/digested in MIME, non-MIME, or both(?) formats?
