I also sometimes send attachments, but I do use mail-mode, because it does support attachments: use the mail-add-attachment command to do that. > However most of the time I just send plain text messages: > then Message mode nonetheless adds the MIME headers and because I make > Rmail not display automatically the plain text part then I have to > manually click RET every time.

Not sure I understand: are you saying that message-mode sends plain text body of email messages as MIME attachments? > Also, I have occasionally received some messages which looks > almost-MIME: they only have this header: Content-Type: text/plain; > charset=Utf-8 (these messages are displayed by Rmail > immediately). Shouldn't this header be absent or is this header usually > required also for non-MIME messages? It shouldn't matter. Why are you bothered by that? > I also want to say that on these such messages (and on non-MIME > messages) then (rmail-mime) for some reason has the same effect of > (rmail-toggle-header): is this on purpose? That's not what I see here. On my system, rmail-mime toggles the display of the buttons that allow you to show/hide the various MIME parts of the message. > And instead on MIME messages, (rmail-toggle-header) and (rmail-mime) > cannot activate simultaneously but doing one undoes the other: is this > on purpose? Yes. > Finally, is it a policy of this mailing list not to reply to the sender > of the messages ("reply to all")?

It depends on how people send responses: some send through news gateway, others through the list server. The local configuration of the person who responses also affects that.
