I'm not sure what to think.  I think the proponents of MIME/HTML
equivalence are correct in that this is closer to the original MIME
idea.  

But I worry that this behaviour will make us incompatible with other
MUAs that don't use the content-disposition header to tell us whether
this is an inline mime type or an attachment.

I think MIME-as markup may be workable, or maybe even the best
behaviour if we have 
	Content-Disposition: inline
in the message parts.

But I think Gnus should default to attachment behaviour, in the
absense of content-disposition headers, because that's probably closer 
to what the composing MUA expects.

IMHO, of course!
