I don't think multipart/parallel is the correct type for this
circumstance. RFC 2046 says:
,----
| In particular, in a parallel entity, the order of body parts is
| not significant.
|
| A common presentation of this type is to display all of the parts
| simultaneously on hardware and software that are capable of doing
| so.
`----
Clearly, the order of the parts _is_ significant in this case. We
wouldn't want all of the parts to be popped up in different windows as
the RFC suggests is a common way of representing
multipart/alternative.
