The whole point is that the default save command should do the right
thing with MIME parts.  Requiring people to just *remember* that they
have to press `o' at one time, `O b' at some other time, etc. is
simply wrong.

Then, there is also the fact that the headers are fabricated (I don't
really like the merging between the parent and multipart headers, as
much as it may be useful for replying to multipart attachments.)

It shows a simple menu of MIME attachment, sort of like C-d in Gnus,
but its keybindings are better suited for doing stuff with the
multipart stuff.
