Though since the FS maps message to file, as long as it does so
consistently, and publishes what it's doing, there should be no
problem, right? I mean, if the `plain' part of your message is
2137 bytes and the `html' part is 2904 bytes, the FS can compute
offsets from this and enforce them.
Then all I need is `MIME structure' attributes for the parts, and
I would certainly want something like that anyway. I mean, even
if that's all the MIME support I get, at least I would like to know
about that structure if possible.
