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). > I also would like to see some checking of the writen() return values.
