I agree. It's up to the receiver to be able to read what he receives.
That is also Sun's opinion, as Sun Solaris Openwindows Mailtool
is able to receive MIME-encoded and UUENCODED files but can
only send UUENCODED files.
And it's often easier to read everything than write every langage.
I can read American and English, but When I write, I write english
(I understand words colour and color, but write color).
I can read German, but I can't write.
