Getting the blobs out of band may well be better for large messages. Even
if binary isn't the most compelling case for this, I would like to see a
better way to incrementally roll out new features that require end-to-end
support that is less prone to extended messages leaking out to everyone
else that isn't ready yet.
Well, you know, message/external-body with a pointer to a URL has been a
standards track spec for over 22 years. I haven't checked lately to see
what my MUAs do with it, but if they purport to support MIME, it should
work.
