When rape unavoidable, lie back, enjoy

I agree wholeheartedly with you on the HTML issue. However MIME seems
to be here to stay and the trouble is that once you get a mail program
that understands Q-P *and* does what you want in general, it is often
impossible to keep it from sending Q-P out.

Note that even when programs try not to Q-P unnecessarily, things like
space at EOL, or TAB characters, or "From" in pos.1 will make for
"unsafe transfers" and prompt Q-P to be used. 

I've been just as peeved about this as you are, and sooner or later,
some FORTRAN programmer *will* initialize a variable to 30 instead of
1 (X=3D1), but really, the path of least resistance seems to be to
just "go with the flow" and get yourself a mailer that handles MIME.
