Gnus doesn't display this very well (or at all), but RFC2045 (etc)
says that there is a difference between including a part <like, here>
and separating it

<like this>

That is, it should be possible to display graphics in the middle of a
paragraph, and it should also be possible to send something that is
really a collection of separate items.  In a way, MIME is just like
HTML, but with more combersome ways of delimiting structure, as well
as including many different documents in one document.

So, I think it makes sense to be able to <put a picture here>.  That
doesn't rule out reuiring the MML bits starting at the beginning of
lines, but I think it's purdier if people can just write them
anywhere.
