NONO! If MIME standard says its illegal - let it be illegal.
I think this is fair to force devs to follow standards.
What i can guess, that maybe there is no need to throw an error: i.e.
if content-type is malformed, it can simply
do:
^self
main: mimeString
sub: ''
parameters: ''
in #fromMIMEString: method.
because i think nothing bad will happen later - if content type is
unknown , then all applications who care about it will anyways be
forced to use them as a simple octet stream.
Monticello doesn't care about proper MIME type, and it can continue
running without any problems (this is what i actually did - returned
(self main: mimeString sub: '' parameters: '') using debugger to
install the needed package despite the error with MIME).
