"Warning: Your message contains 37 parts. Do you really want to send?" User settable warning limit. That's what makes the most sense to me, just like the warnings about lines over 80 columns. (And as an aside, I am *really* impressed at the new MIME support. So impressed that this is literally converting me from a MIME-hater to rather liking it, if it can do stuff this cool when well-programmed. It makes me think that there really isn't anything that wrong with MIME, it's just that all the existing implementations suck. Except, finally, one.) -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu)
