useful with traditional Unix tools true if the vast majority of email
you have in your mailbox is US-ASCII text/plain only. Can't speak for

the number of messages in my mail repo whose bodies are in
quoted-printable or base64, or which have attachments that are binary,

containing commands of some kind, with perl's "MIME" modules for some
time now.
