All of it.  But almost nobody would ever do something like that.
They'd just do `C-c C-a rms.gif RET RET', which results in

(part :type image/gif) (external "~/rms.gif") (end part)

Eh.  I think I like the SGML'ey syntax better.  

(part :type image/gif (external "~/rms.gif"))

would be a possibility, though...  Yes, the `end' things are totally
unLispy.  So the multipart would be:

(multipart :type alternative
(part :type text/plain
This is plain text.)
(part :type image/gif
(external "~/rms.gif")))

Er.
