One problem might be that I don't think it is possible to find out how
large a specific MIME part is.  But that shouldn't too problematic,
looking at RFC822.SIZE and replacing all MIME parts with
content-disposition=attachment is probably OK.  Another problem is
finding someone to implement it. :-)
