I considered this, but thought it would be an advantage to have constant
behaviour. There's no real downside in always having a MIME mail, or is
it? Mailing list software always modify messages and all current MUAs
are MIME-capable. Checking for text/plain adds only a little complexity,
so if you insist on it, I'll do it. It's probably a good idea to make
this configurable (footer_force_mime or something).

Should we abort if a critical writen() fails?
There are already some writen() without checking...
