The volume of business email containing MIME "application/msword" has now exceeded my level of tolerance. When I consider changing ISPs and they send the application form MIME encoded for an application I do not have... When I receive support updates from a company we _pay_ for support and they send them MIME encoded... Grrr. Enough! Opinions?
