I found a message from this mailing list in August 2000¹ that shows a
more detailed ABNF indicating the payload content requires at least
one CRLF pair:

  mime       = <MIME Content {entity-headers} from RFC 2045>
  payload    = [mime] CR LF *OCTET

I have not yet found a follow-up message arguing against this
definition, but it apparently did not make it into RFC 3080.
