Just to name names: I know that Cyberdog on the Macintosh and Microsoft's

Well, that is considerable progress, although it would be nice 
to know
  -- what types of messages
and 
  -- what really acts on these on receipt, other than treating 
them as "mixed".

Note that we can't appeal to HTTP for validation of any of the 
multipart formats -- they quite aggressively don't use them.
