OK. Did the email come in from an SMTP connection, or did the "outside"
person inject it into your system locally.

If the former, then you might want to suggest that their SMTP-sender is
broken, and doesn't follow the standards, in the latter, perhaps you
want to re-look at how you're doing the injection.

The MIME RFC is not used by exim at all. It's used *entirely* by your
MUA. Exim gets data to send, it sends it. It is up to something else to
say what that data is. (OK, this is over-simplification, but YKWIM).
