Dude, I feel your pain.  I hope I communicated in my other email that
I think we should do better.  From a practical standpoint ... I try to
balance my desire to re-architecture the MIME code completely (which
would improve lots of things but take a long time) to fixing things in
the short term (which helps people now, but is just adding a Band-Aid
on top of a huge pile of Band-Aids).
