I don't think your mechanism is restricted to multipart/mixed.  You
could code the nesting in the part numbers (1.2.3 is the third part in
the second part of the first part).  You could put information on
whether it's multpart/alternative or multipart/mixed or
multipart/whatever either in the gruft that goes at the end of the
buffer, or in the button itself.

There's another problem with your suggestion.  Suppose users
inadvertently edit the button?  But maybe that's more of a feature
than a bug :-)

Though users shuffling around the buttons manually will screw up the
nesting relationship big time.
