.....which brings us straight back to the MAILCAP debate about how to get
more info about a mail recipient than his address.
I remember a BOF that I was just skimming past on this subject in Chicago;
care to give us a capsule summary?

(IMHO, a working mailcap has the potential to dramatically change the
