The right answer for whom? Surely not for the hapless list member? Why
should they have to reconfigure their email client which they use
happily with hundreds of people, where MIME is a blessing, in order to
meet the needs of one mailing list they happen to be a member of?

I don't want to knock the fab crew who made this brilliant tool. [Can
you tell there's a 'but' coming?]

But it's the list administrator/list server's job to do this filtering,
not the list member's. It would be a great enhancement if mailman did
this as slickly as it does other stuff.

'stripmime', eh? I'd better find out something about it...
