Subject: [PATCH 3/3] filter: more consistent labeling of rejections
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2015 22:23:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151001222317.GD23598@dcvr.yhbt.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20151001222143.GA23598@dcvr.yhbt.net>

While we're at it, reject non-plain-text top-level messages,
too.  They probably do not exist in practice, but we cannot
afford to scrub given policies implemented by overzealous
mail providers.

While we're at it, update the comment for strip_multipart.
