Yes, that's the case.  The problem with the mm-uu stuff is that it
makes things _look_ as if you know what's going on, except you don't,
and things fail mysteriously.

That might be a bit of a clutter, because you'd then also need a
wide-reply function, a send-forward function, an include-into-digest
function, etc.  What we need is a way to insert the part into a
summary, so you can do with it whatever you'd normally do with summary
buffers.

One more reason why C-d should use the mm stuff.  :-)
