MML -- how do you add a part?

MML -- how do you add a part?

[Rupa Schomaker (list)]

If I use "S o m" to include a MIME attached message to a user, I
usually also want to include some info at the top.

I can't just type my message because depending on the client on the
other end my comment and/or my attachment is not retrievable.

Of course, the problem is that I'm not including my text comment in a
MML "section".

M-m p appears to be bound to something that would work
mml-insert-part, but that is undefined.

M-m m (mm-insert-multipart) also "might" work but that gives me an
"Wrong number of arguments" error.

So, what is the right way to do what I want?

The editing commands aren't finished yet.  Just type the MML markup
by hand.

Actually, you can.  If you just type in something above the #part line,
it will be assumed to be an text/plain part with disposition=inline.

I forward mail like this all the time to my wife who uses Netscape, and 
she has no problems.

You can test this out by sending yourself a message this way, and then
useing C-d on it to see all the parts explicitly.  Or `K b' to see the
MIME buttons.

I'm not fully sure it would help, but I gave myself a few commands, usable
while editing a message, able to turn a region into a part (which is what
I use most), to edit an already existing part independently of others,
even using a different major mode while the editing goes, to interactively
change the type/subtype of a part, and a few other goodies.  The thing
was written originally for being able to easily write text/enriched parts.

I sent the code for these command on this list already, and would not
pollute people by including it again, as the code did not change much
since last time.  Just ask me if you feel like trying it, and I'll send
you a copy privately.
