It appears buy.com also can't send out their addsheets/newsletters without bad MIME headers.
I sent them a stern email letting them know that messages formatted in such a fashion are not reaching their destination in the intended form, but I doubt it will make any difference...
Sam, I admire your dedication to remaining true to the RFC's and I think the net would be a better place if others took your stance, but this problem is beginning to be epidemic... we have heard reports now of lets see... E-bay, hotmail ?, buy.com, what others?
Might it be time to start making accepting or correcting the default mode rather than the even the current encapsulation method?
As it is, the senders don't care, but the users of your software are being hurt/annoyed/pestered.
Again, I think your in the right, and accept that since its your code you can do as you will, but please keep considering the flexibility issue.

CORRUPTED MESSAGE
This is the Courier Mail Server 0.36.1 on agni.phys.iit.edu.
I received the following message for delivery to your address. Unfortunately, this message apparently fails to comply with Internet mail formatting protocols, and I can only deliver mail which has been properly formatted in accordance with Internet standards. Instead of rejecting that message as undeliverable, I saved it as the following attachment, which you can open with any editor or word processor.
Please notify the original sender that their message was not properly formatted by their mail software. The specific mail protocol error is as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - The following message contains 8-bit content, but does not have the required MIME headers for 8-bit data transport.
