Strong cases on both sides. I would suggest the configuration
allow:
always_mime_errors
never_mime_errors
mime_errors_if_needed
mime_errors_unless_unwanted
Or somthing more cocisely worded :-). My suggestions for the algorithms
for deciding the last two:
if_needed: The message contains binary, or non-ASCII chars, and the
the user looks like they could handle mime * or it had
MIME headers already.
unless_unwanted: The message came from someone without MIME headers
and/so it looks like the user won't handle MIME too
well *.
* One could make a *guess* about MIME abilities from mailer type if
available and presence/absence of MIME headers.
I have a feeling this "fuzzy" compromise is too simple, though, but
I hope it is of some help. I mean, I can see people will be asking for
things like :
hosts_accept_mime_errors = <hostlist>
hosts_refuse_mime_errors = <hostlist>
and so forth. :-)
