3. You display all the parts inline, with no visible separator. With

to intrpoduce a new character set or languauge) and have the result
displayed seemlessly.
Option #3 seems like the most reasonable interpretation to me. If you have
a multipart/mixed, and a part doesn't have a content-disposition, it makes
the most sense to me to display the part inline if you can and as an
attachment if you can't.
I am surprised (but a couple of other responses that have not reached the
list yet also support that view).
My chief concern with #3 is that the reader get no indication that the
message was a multipart. He just sees the texts following on with no
apparent break (even on the same line, if the author was careful to arrange
it that way). Are you happy with that?
