[Bug 240133]

(In reply to 石庭豐 (Seak, Teng-Fong) from comment #102)
Teng-Fong, I believe you're mistaken. The core issue with MIME support is that it's based on code which is essentially a custom object system implemented in C, with polymorphic construction by class name, and other strangeness. It is very tricky to work with, and what's _really_ necessary is getting rid of it in favor of a proper C++'ish MIME library. Problem is, it's like a house of cards which collapses on top of you when you do that. Last decade I had tried to initiate this kind of a rewrite, but it didn't work out. See also Arho's comment #95.

Anyway, something like UnMHT are not really a solution, it's a
workaround; and it would not be reasonable to integrate it. It would be
yet another layer over the problematic core.
