as far as I understood the discussions later on, it was preferred not to do 
the MIME-modifications within mlmmj itself.

I wrote a patch which offloads the mime-modification to another task. I use 
the altermime for that. I sent the patch in this mail:

http://mlmmj.org/archive/mlmmj/2008-12/1444.html

I guess it wasn't included because the release process for 1.2.16 was already 
started and it got forgotten later on. Morten?

Kind regards,

Gerd

Yeah, that's perfectly understandable. I can definitely see that this
could be considered the job for a separate content filter.

At a quick glance, I like the look of it and I think it will suit my
purposes nicely. I can also easily extend it to do whatever else I like
which has a couple of possible advantages.

Well, it gets a vote from me for inclusion! ^'Cause my opinion counts
for so much since I've been here for about an hour.^ *

That sounds very much like me.

Could you guys remind me again (and again, until I finally do something
about it) after the release?
