title: E-Mail Header: MIME-Version: 1.0 - When should this be used?
body: <p>This could be rightfully construed as a beginner's question.</p>
  
  <p>Consider the following e-mail header:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>MIME-Version: 1.0</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>My Questions:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>When should you stamp an e-mail with this header?</li>
  <li>When should you <em>omit</em> this e-mail header?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Is it true that whenever you specify a 'Content Type' header, no matter what that content type happens to be, that you should also specify 'MIME-Version'?
