Thanks for all the discoussion. I have an updated version of this patch.
I belive it's clear that you want a switch for this so I have implemented
it. Currently on by default. Also I have an other patch which implements
Ralphs suggestion.

I'm not sure if the manpage updates are good. Also the tests should be
updated. I'm also look for a way to autodetect if -nofixmime should be
set. I think the best place would be in nmh_init().

As a disclousure: I work with this patch since 2016. If you implement it
or not will not affect me. I thought this was clear from the beginning,
but it looks for me that this wasn't clear for everyone in the discussion.
Sorry for that. I belive this patch is good and you will benefit from it.
Thats is why I have send it to you and discoused why I belive this should
be enable by default. But in the end you can decide if and in which way
you want this patch.
