Hopefully this belongs in all of these groups...

What chances are there of SMAIL 3.1.21, MUSH 7.2.3, and ELM 2.3.11 supporting
this (new?) "standard"?  How easy would it be to make changes for this?
What changes would be necessary? 

I'm really excited by this and in a way am kind of confused as to why it has
taken so long (???) to come up with a binary "standard" for e-mail?  It 
SOUNDS like it wouldn't be too hard to make changes to support this.  Am I
being naive?  I haven't even looked at the code for these programs yet (very
much).

Also:  What about UseNet/NetNews?  Could this also apply to that?


Let's have some discussion!  :-)
