Taking a look into the MIME specs (RFC2045ff) regarding this issue is
on my list.  My biggest concern with utilizing more MIME capabilities
is, that you have little control over what the recipient's MUA will do.

Don't know about VM, but with regards to WL I'd imagine something
like:

 - first represent the MIME strukture in a list

 - then call translating functions that insert the appropriate
   delimeters

Just out of curiosity: Why do you write to a temp file and not just
insert the body in a temporary buffer, turn on org-mode and use
org-export-region-as-html (point-min) (point-max) nil t 'string)?
