I think the biggest complaint people have is over GNATS poor
understanding of MIME. Currently, much of this can be avoided through
the use of procmail scripts and auto-responders. I have a custom
procmail script that does a pretty good job of filtering out marked
spam, viruses, and overly large emails. HTML-only emails are converted
to text, and emails that fail to enter the queue are saved to separate
mail folders. If you're interested in the RC file, just send me an
email and I'll forward it to you.
MIME-handling enhancement is one of those big TODO's that would bring
GNATS around to modern email technology.
