Yes.  Er.

Aren't multipart messages kind of like messages with outlines?  i.e.,
they're buffers with a nested hierarchy of bits in them, and I ought
to be able to move around, and easily chop bits out and paste them
elsewhere.

Hmm, I'm probably talking about a possible user-interface: you'd still
need to have some kind of representation of things (and the right
representation is probably not MIME).
