You're just being argumentative; that's false on the face of it ("Voil=E0!"), and beside the point. The *information* in an HTML document is not all textual, and if the MIME media type is text/html, users have a right to expect that that non-textual information will be used in presentation and preserved in transmission. If you have a suggestion for improving Rmail which depends on text/html being a format that doesn't require MIME encapsulation for interoperability, please present it, and we can discuss its feasibility. Otherwise, we're just wasting each others' time.
