Re: Multipart response support

Well, to me, the ability to include images as attachments first of  
all represents a means for ordinary people to achieve a certain  
degree of protection of their legal rights.

It won't affect the big corporations who have technical, financial  
and legal resources to protect their content anyway. Neither will it  
affect the technically skilled bad guys out there who will abuse  
their rights anyway. But it will reduce the total amount of abuse and  
that is a good thing, I think.

And please don't exxagerate the costs. Multipart response support is  
a quite modest extension where most of the work has been done already.
