- rfarley04 2y agoI was literally just reading about how the guy mostly responsible for MIME regrets screwing up a header that is no mostly irrelevant but still included in most emails: "Luckily, Borenstein says, “there’s never been a need to advance the standard.” However, one could still argue that the space used to indicate the MIME version in each e-mail is unnecessarily sucking up bandwidth and storage. “You could make the argument that it’s a total waste of space,” he says. “So that’s something like a dozen or 15 bytes, probably reproduced 100 billion times on this planet. That’s how much space it wastes. That’s why I’m embarrassed by it.” https://www.networkworld.com/article/719139/uc-voip-the-mime-guys-how-two-internet-gurus-changed-e-mail-forever.html https://www.networkworld.com/article/719139/uc-voip-the-mime...
