Dumb question:  why won't MIME work with existing settings, such
as IETFHDR?
 
People using the other headings *probably* can't handle MIME anyway,
so why do you want to forcibly set them to something where they may
not be able to see *ANY* headers?
 
I'd just send out an "admistrivia" note telling them how to change
their headers and why they might want to.
 
Cheers,
Stan.
