My only thought is that MIME is more than just the linear list of
attachments that many seem to believe, and we need to come up with
a naming convention capable of representing that. And even then,
deciding what to store as content for a given part isn't necessarily
straightforward. For example, if you have a multipart/alternative
part, how do you represent that in the filesystem? We've briefly
touched on some of this before:
I think that it's solvable; seems like the multipart "container" objects
wouldn't be represented in the filesystem.

I also note that thread included someone (who shall remain nameless) offering
to design a new API to replace m_getfld() :-)
