I've now had a peek at Ray Moody's rmime.el, and I'm very impressed by
it.  By the comments in it, I mean.  I've never seen such a
well-commented package before in my life.  It seems to be doing what
it's supposed to be doing as well, so I think it can be used for my
nefarious purposes.  The problem is the copyright situation, but that
looks like it might work out.  Stay tuned.

William Perry's mm.el handles mailcap parsing well, and has lots of
MIME support functions, so I think if I basically take these two works
and squish them together (and add some more stuff), we should have
that simple MIME library with that interface I outlined earlier.
