It will leave the MIME-less people in the cold with base64 and QP
messages, and generate extra junk for the majority of MIME-generated
messages that simply state the MIME defaults ("this is a plain text
message, in ASCII"). The correct thing to do is to decode MIME messages
for non-MIME users. Simply ignoring the problems of non-MIME users won't
make them go away.
