Not all e-mail clients are capable of interpretting MIME format digests
(or for that matter, MIME format ANYTHING).  As a result, you may want to
also add a default option of NoMIME and include in the welcome message a
way to change this if people are able to and want to better utilize their
particular e-mail client.

To change from a NoMIME to a MIME subscription, I think all you need to do
is send to listserv:

SET listname MIME

Any corrections, if neccessary, are welcome.
