mml-parse enhancement?

[William M. Perry]

Any chance I could convince everyone that mml-parse should return the
marker positions of a native 'part'?  Currently the 'contents' chunk of the 
assoc list contains the raw content.

I'm diddling with getting a message-send-hook that is smart enough to use
mailcrypt to sign the text/* parts with inlined content.  Just for
giggles. :)

But because mml-parse returns the actual contents, I cannot use
mc-sign-region very easily.

Well, I don't think just returning marker positions would solve the
problem completely.  I mean, charsets are decoded and various other
funny stuff is done at various points in time.  I actually think that
the way to sign stuff like that is to let MML generate MIME, and then
parse the MIME (`mm-dissect-buffer') and work based on that.  Er.  Or
something along those lines.
