Hi all, I've gotten a request for the mime-mail package that I'd like some input on. Right now, there's the ability to fully specify whether or not to base64-encode each part in a message, but the included simpleMail function defaults to non-encoded parts for both its HTML and plain text alternatives. This has apparently caused some issues where long HTML strings have been word-wrapped at bad locations, causing breakage in the meaning of the markup. The request is to make both the HTML and plain text parts use base64 encoding by default. This *seems* to me to make a lot of sense, since it will ensure that your message arrives exactly as you intended it, and will ensure that any non-ASCII code points don't get killed somewhere along the way. On the other hand, I'm not sure what client support is like for base-64 encoding. Don't we need to leave *some* form of non-encoded data for less sophisticated email clients? Thanks, Michael
