Well, that would be quit similar to an encapsulation within a new
message-like body type:

Content-Type: application/message-partial; number=1; total=1;
        id="sdfvwef34rzsdkvchn(_at_)example(_dot_)com"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Content-Type: application/postscript
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="hello.ps"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-binary; foo="bar"
Content-Encoding: gzip (from HTTP)
Content-Required-Fields: Type, Transfer-Encoding, Encoding (list of
        fields which a EMIME parser must know to fully decode the
        entity)

The advantage of this is: If it crosses the border to the non-8bit
world, everything inside the enclosing entity can be encoded with qp or
base64.
