Re: New type suggested: Multipart/Related

After the discussion a few months ago, it was my impression that
adding a new body-part header (content-disposition) was generally
acclaimed as being cleaner, easier to implement and administer, and
easier to parse at the MIME level than using the multipart syntax. I
lamentably have dropped the ball, but am picking it up, and will have
a draft out in a few days if it kills me. :)

Has the general consensus changed? I'd be happy to devote my time to
working on compound document formats, which is how I got drawn to this
in the first place.

Yes we have had this discussion before.  A per-body-part indication
is simpler and more versatile.
