So what is the answer?

- make workarounds which effectively change the standard to suit MS's
whims?

- refuse to send mail to such sites? (this may have the undesired effect
of having people turn to MS solutions to cope with MS brokenness if they
*must* be able to get through to such sites)

- send them the mail, but include an automatic attachment telling them
their system is broken, matter-of-factly stating where their site
breaks an Internet RFC?

- Something else?
