Hello
Here's a patch which MIGHT do something like the right thing with
partial messages ... but I don't think it's quite what everyone
wants -- it means that a few blank messages are going to be
delivered to a very confused recipient:

+ "message/partial" => \&ParserDiscard,
"message/rfc822" => \&ParserRFC822,
"multipart/*" => \&ParserMultipart,
"multipart/signed" => \&ParserCat,
===================END
Ps. I haven't tested it .. although if I don't reply to your
replies, it could be because this breaks something quite
impressively &:-)
