Or at least make relaxing it an option in v1.1.  I personally think it should be relaxed.

Hi Timo,

Will it be possible to make this available in the 1.0 branch? UW-IMAP 
seems to continue to process e-mails without the MIME-Version, so long as 
it has the Content-Type or -Encoding header.

Cheers.
