Once again I have to say how much I detest the tangled mess email has 
become. Dealing with attachments and multi-part messages is bad enough 
but that's not the worst of it. Then I have to deal with HTML mail. That 
wouldn't be so bad except there are two different versions (normal and 
with binaries wrapped inside) used and both seem to be broken. Most of 
the messages I see appear to be output by Microsoft MIME OLE and they 
are incredibly badly formatted with random characters spread throughout 
the files. Would it really have been so hard just to format the damn 
things properly? Argh! Why would '=' characters be randomly spread 
through the source? #%$%^

Did we really need HTML mail in the first place? What has it done to 
improve communications? I hate trying to read old mail just to find it 
full of broken images and crap like that. Which is why I download and 
store the images when importing the mail. Why mail clients don't do that 
I dunno.
