message/rfc822 attachments don't work. If it did it would be a much better
way to do forwarding and top-posting repliesthan at present. (For
instance, Outlook can hide those horrible confusing email addresses rather
than stripping them out.)
Plaintive humor notwithstanding, this all starts to look as if some sort
of BCP or even protocol "profile" is warranted, to describe preferred
practices in the creation and interpretation of RFC5322 objects within
"conversational exchanges".
I'd be happy to participate in a specification effort, assuming
community interest.
