MML multipart tag -- what does it do?

[Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE (Kai Großjohann)]

I think the MML multipart tag needs some more explanation.  At least
to me it's not quite clear what it does.

Okay, the examples in the emacs-mime info file are fairly clear.  But
what they leave open to interpretation: suppose I compose a message,
and the very first line of the body is a multipart tag, followed by a
couple of part tags.

What does the whole message look like that comes out?

You see, if I just put several part tags in the body, then I get a
multipart/mixed message, so maybe the same thing happens with a
multipart tag.

I kinda suspect that under some circumstances the top-level MML tag
will become the Content-Type of the whole message, whereas under some
circumstances the Content-Type of the whole message will me
multipart/mixed with the MML tags given as `children' of that.
