I think if you want to go the route of marking up MIME stuff with normal text (as opposed to text properties), then the markup should be something which is unlikely to occur in the normal mail text. Parentheses and SGML-like tags are too likely to occur in normal mail text, IMHO. What about saying that a line beginning with a special string is such a MIME markup? Let's say lines beginning with "@.:" or something. (Don't use "@#$%", that'll be too often used for four-letter words :-) kai -- Life is hard and then you die.
