Paul, Message 76 would still be what came over the wire,
however something like mhstore could optionally make 76.*
as the split out compoents
Tet, nothing in what I wrote implied you couldn't have
76.1.1.4 grep's, not going to care.
i think i understood; i just don't want these other files in the MH
store. but read on for a friendly closure.

but i do not think we should pollute the Mail subdirectory
hierarchy with permanent copies of parts.
nmh already has nmh-cache, how about putting parts there?
They could go into a hierarchy that shadows the MH
hierarchy, but with one root directory, e.g., 53.mime (or
just 53) corresponding to each message. That way scripts
that troll the two hierarchies would look similar. And
a script that trolls the MH hierarchy would know where
to look for the parts.
The cache be populated on demand. And cleaned up manually.
Temporal locality of reference suggests not cleaning after
each use, but rather periodically.
sounds right to me. (i did not know about nmh-cache until now.)
