My original idea was that that should be left up to the MUA designer;
attachments could either be 'inline attachments (NeXTmail style)' or
bottom-of-page (zmail style). The only baggage that an attachment has
in my mind is that display is not automatic.
Registering a new kind of disposition to server as a hint sounds
wrong; it may result in wrong behavior (if an MUA does not know about
disposition 'inline-attachment', how does it know it's an
attachment?). A parameter might be better.
