I think MIME was superseeded by an attempt to make all mail gateways 8-bit, but it failed, because there might be some gateway somewhere along the path corrupting the mail, and it was too difficult replacing those. So do not rely on better mail gates, but use MIME instead. (Email attachments should get through uncorrupted.)
