Speaking as a long-time Gnus user, but only a recent Gnus MIME user, I'd
strongly suggest the Message manual.  User's shouldn't have to care that MIME
is handled by a separate library because as far as they're concerned they're
adding an attachment in Gnus.  So why should they want to look in a different
manual for part of the message sending process?

Besides, any manual that starts with "This is not a manual meant for
users..." is a little bit off-putting.

On the topic of MIME, is there a way of editing the parameters of a part that
has error checking and completion (similar to when a part is created)?  Due to
their complexity, a bit of hand holding here would be very useful (for
instance, having completion list for valid values for 'disposition'.  Finding
out what they are is not straightforward).
