OK, wish what we see in the debian package would mention that. Or
maybe it did.

Uh oh,
https://rt.cpan.org/index.html?goto=/Public/Dist/Display.html%3FName%3Dmime-tools
is too complex. Two different accounts or whatever.

I'll try mime-tools in bug-<distribution-name>@rt.cpan.org:
bug-mime-tools at rt.cpan.org ... the submit via email option. Maybe that
will work. If it does, then "the bug is at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=460411 ".

But my spam digest has no bodies... Actually I was using a RFC1153
digest with no such bloat until I ran into some MUAs that wanted a
MIME digest... OK, thanks. See ya.
