| Double er.  The problem with this is that `This is plain text.'
| must not contain closed parentheses -- or its parens must be balanced, 

or you make it so that the closing token for a text/plain bodypart
or anything similar is a parenthesis on a line by itself (or beginning
a line with further Lispy MIME directives).

Or perhaps a dot on a line by itself?

(part :type text/plain
This is plain text.
.
) (part :type image/gif (external "~/rms.gif"))

I don't think that a special closing-token for such things
is totally alien, although it is a bit gross.

One might even have (part :type text/plain :closing-token "\rEOF\r"
Some random text
(of whatever nature)
.
Ending like a UNIX here-file.
EOF
)
