I guess using MIME structures like that more would make more people complain
to devlopers of MUAs that don't handle this properly...
I don't know many MUAs, but perhaps others do.
Q: is content-disposition handled properly, especially for messag/rfc822 type
attachments? (Or if not, are message attachments displayed inline by
default?)
KMail 1.5.1: yes
Evolution: yes (already in 1.0.x IIRC)
sylpheed?
mozilla mail? (whatever the name of that thing is right now...)
I guess quite critical would be
mutt
pine
as especially developers are known to use textmode mail readers quite a lot.
(Yes, I've stopped caring about users of a certain other widespread MUA, as
you've probably guessed anyway when you notice me using PGP/MIME to sign
messages...)
