I look at MIME extensions for ordinary email as jargon is to conversation. It
adds nothing to the context of the information and makes the receiver of the
message irrated.

"Stronger gradients allow thinner slices and faster protocols."

The above statement most likely makes absolutely no sense to the bulk of the
readers, yet it is a valid statement in an appropriate enviroment (ie. it is
jargon for the hardware aspects of an Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine)

MIME extensions are the same sort of jargon. Outside of the MS world, WWW
enviroment, these extensions make about as much sense as the above statement
does to the readers of this list.
