Gnus has this problem, too: per default, inline parts have no visual
separation from other inline parts. This is arguably correct for
normal parts, but very wrong for message/rfc822, at least.

The only indication that an inlined (forwarded) message/rfc822 starts
is the sudden appearance of mail headers. There is no indication of
the message's end, whatsoever.

To demonstrate this, this message (sans signature) has been enclosed
in a forward.
