If you have a plain message, the only thing that gets changed is the following
headers get added:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I don't consider this a huge problem; what, exactly, is your beef with this?

It's not clear to me what -check would be checking (also, it seems today
that whom -check is not so useful; I just gave it a bogus address and our
SMTP server said it was fine).
