Why do you need MIME for NSURL ?

Try each out and decide. We do not intend to compete with Pantomime, it 
should be viable as well and seems to work quite well for GNUmail.

I think our major advantage is that our stuff is extremly well tested by 
a huge user base (we guess that at least 50.000 end-users are working 
with SKYRiX mail clients).
It does not only process MIME according to the spec, but can also 
process the broken output of a number of mail clients (say Groupware, 
say "The Bat!", say Outlook ...).
