You can use MIME parts for this as well, mark the parts as inline and make
sure you don't add newlines during encoding.  The processing rules
describes fairly well how to decode it back together.

Euhm? Where did you read this? The only rfc I know of that defines 
presentation of mails is rfc2183, defining the C-D header (plus others that 
add new C-D values). RFC2183 basically interprets "inline" as "non-iconic" or 
"expanded". In HTML speak this means <div>, not <span>.

Well Turnpike can do this trick, and they swear blind that the behaviour
in question is mandated by the MIME standards.

That view does not seem to be universally shared, however :-( .
