I have code that supports both.  It's really intended for private
use cases where I'm dealing with slow unreliable links, so this
provides a form of "chunking" over email.

Valdis, can you contact me offline with specifics?

I'm not sure the media type needs to be tossed overboard.  If you
don't generate it, it doesn't matter to you.  And if you don't deal
with it inbound, you just treat it like every other media type you
cannot handle (report and ignore it).
