That's the way to go.

Here's a message structure that I get occasionally:

 msg part  type/subtype              size description
4785       multipart/alternative      14K
     1     text/calendar             1785
     2     text/html                 4865
     3     text/plain                1962

mhshow ignores the text/calendar part.  If the message text
doesn't at least hint that it's there, I'll miss it.  Maybe
I could teach the scan highlighter to notice messages with a
text/calendar part?
