[Mimedefang] application/evil MIME type (rfc3514)

[Alastair Carey]

Given that it's an April Fools joke, I doubt anyone's going to find it
"interesting" or "potentially useful". Vaguely entertaining for about three
minutes, perhaps.

I came across this, which people may find interesting and
potentially useful:

  http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3514.txt

This rfc describes the use of an "evil" flag in the IPv4 network
packet headers.  But it also briefly mentions a new mime type:

   An application/evil MIME type is defined for Web- or email-carried
   mischief.  Other MIME types can be embedded inside of evil sections;
   this permit easy encoding of word processing documents with macro
   viruses, etc.

Cheers
Tony
