Well, just because majordomo is not mime aware, it doesn't follow that
it must be unaware of its unawareness of mime. Since mime is an internet
standard, it's not unreasonable to ask for a word of warning. If you put
an smtp mailer out that ignored mx records, you'd want to say that
_somewhere_ in the documentation.

Cheers, Andy
