IIRC it was that different adjacent parts were catenated if both
text/html before being sent to something to interpret the HTML. This
meant the join could produce something unwanted that wasn't detected
when they were separate.

About time someone's noticed. :-) It's not the first time, though it's
not common. This time it seemed apt given my pondering about too much
done `out of the box'.

Possibly by nobbling nmh-access-url in an mhn.defaults, e.g. /etc/nmh,
though I haven't tested it. It's `curl -L' here, that should probably
have an `-sS' too.

I don't know. History, probably.
We used to assume everyone played nice.
